We the People

Today is the 220th anniversary of the adoption of the United States Constitution in its original form by the Constitutional Convetnion in Philadelphia.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Celebrate it, cherish it, honor it, and don't let anyone tell you that the first three words -- We the People -- aren't the most important words in that entire document.
