Constitution Week Thought for Thursday
 

Constitution Week, September 17th to 23rd, commemorates the signing of the Constitution of the United States. Did you know that the only place “Lord” or any reference to God appears in the Constitution is in the date? Phrases like “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal” and “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”' are not in the Constitution but are from the Declaration of Independence. Likewise, the quote “Of the people, by the people, and for the people” is from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, not the Constitution. Study our Constitution! This announcement was provided by the Puc Puggy Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.
