On September 17, 1787, our constitution was signed at the Constitutional Convention. That makes it 221 years old. WOW!! This amazing document has kept our government functioning. When it was implemented, there were lots of people fighting both sides of the state vs. federal government fight. We still have people fighting, and it still works! We are so grateful that we have our freedom AND a framework of government that has worked for all of these many years.

Unless we don't get out and vote in November!!
I love how you are into the "political" part of history and i'm into the "people" part. I need to beef up on John Adams history before i see you at Christmas but hopefully Liz and i will be visiting some of his historical sites for help.
