Comments

Recognized around the world as a symbol of freedom and democracy, the U.S. Constitution sets the standards by which we elect our leaders and the guidelines for writing the laws by which we all live. But most importantly, it outlines the freedoms we are all guaranteed as citizens of the United States of America. Exactly how this historic document grants power to the people and how it works to insure freedom in our everyday lives is a very interesting story indeed. It remains the responsibility of 'WE THE PEOPLE', to continue to protect the meaning and intent of this historic and great symbol of America.
