I’m grateful for the Constitution, which separates power, both “vertically” (federal vs. state) and “horizontally” (between three branches), and imposes substantive limitations on government. We all benefit from the document signed on this day in 1787. Happy Constitution Day!
Constitution Day commemorates the adoption of the United States Constitution and celebrates the citizens of the United States. The Constitution was written because the existing charter of government, known as the Articles of Confederation, had resulted in creating a weak and ineffective central government.
