Happy Constitution Day (to Those Who Celebrate)
September 17 marks Constitution Day, the date in 1787 when the Framers of the U.S. Constitution signed the document and sent it for ratification to the thirteen states.The idea for a list of rights to accompany the Constitution emerged from debates between the Federalists, who supported the Constitution, and the Anti-Federalists, led by George Mason, who opposed it.
The fact that a reasoned debate led to a better outcome has been noted as a prime example of the power and importance of free speech and tolerance for difference.
