Yesterday was a very big day in the history of this nation. It's too bad the great percentage of our citizenry don't realize it. Two hundred thirty years ago our Founders signed the Constitution of the United States. It is the oldest living governmental document in the history of mankind guaranteeing its citizens the basic rights of human beings.
As anyone, I dare you, to ask the average man on the street to name you any of its laws. Go ahead, I double dog dare you.
Well, it contains our Bill of Rights, those rights guaranteed to you; freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, etc.
The brilliance of the men who authored and signed this masterpiece cannot be denied. The year was 1787. The had the foresight to include what is called the 'necessary and proper clause'. The knew over time that conditions would change, that our nation would not be what it was in 1787. Therefore, they allowed to laws, amendments to the Constitution, to be added to meet our changing times.
I've always stated that God had his hand in it's creation. Never before nor ever after have their been such a diverse group of men gathered together to create the greatest document created by mankind.
