CITZENSHIP DAY - CONSTITUTION DAY The Constitution of the United States, universally regarded as the finest expression ever made of the determination of a free people to govern themselves and to protect their liberty, was signed on September 17, 1787, by the delegates to the convention called to draft it. The delegates had met in Independence Hall. Philadelphia, in the preceding May and had deliverated in secret for four months before agreeing on the final draft of the document. George Washington was president of the convention and Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, James Wilson, Alexander Hamilton, Bouverneur Morris and other distinguished men of the time were among the deleglates. When the Constitution had been ratified by the required number of States it was taken to New York, which was the first seat of Government. When Philadelphia became the capital it was taken to that city and after Congress had fixed upon Washington as the permanent capital it was removed to that city. It has always been at the seat of government save for a short time after the British captured Washington during the War of 1812. It was then removed to Virginia, far enough from Washington to be safe. President Harding, in 1921. ordered that it be taken from the State Department, where it had been kept in a safe, and deposited in the Congressional Library. The American Bar Association states: “The Constitution, which provides a plan of government for the enforcement of the rights proclaimed by the Declaration of Independence, is of equal value with the incomparable Declaration itself. Both documents should be well known by all American citizens. Any plan leading to a better knowledge, particularly of the rights and benefits of the Constitution. should meet the approval of all good citizens, and especially lawyers.” President Grover Cleveland, on the occasion of the one hundredth anniversary of the completion of the Constitution, said: “As we look down the past century to the origin of our Constitution, as we con template its trials and triumphs, as we realize how completely the principles upon which it is based have ♦ DR.

met every national peril and every national need, how devoutly should we confess with Franklin, ‘God governs in the affairs of men'; and how solemn should be the reflection that to our hands is committed this ark of the people's covenant, and that ours is the duty to shield it from impious hands. We received it sealed with the tests of a century. It has been found sufficient in the past; and in all the future years it will be found sufficient, if the American people are true to their sacred trust. Another centennial day will come, and millions vet unborn will inquire concerning our stewardship and the safety of their Constitution. God grant that thev may find it unimparied; and as we rejoice in the patriotism and devotion of those who lived a hundred years ago. so may others who follow us rejoice in our fidelity and in our jealous love of constitutional liberty."
