Constitution Day, September 18, 2006
Come to the library to see the display commemorating Constitution Day.
The Constitution was signed September 17, 1787. Originally, state representatives were supposed to change the Articles of Confederation. The final result was an entirely new document called the Constitution of the United States of America. The Constitution divided the power of the government into three branches and placed the power in the hands of the people.
This is the tenth annual celebration of Constitution Day. It will be celebrated nationwide and the recitation of the Preamble will be read by General Colin Powell at 2 p.m. Monday, September 18, 2006.
