    Citizenship Day (or Constitution Day) focuses on the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizens both native-born and naturalized. The choice of September 17 for this observance commemorates the events of September 17, 1787 when the United States Constitution was singed by delegates from 12 states at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

    This day celebrates our Supreme Law of the Land as the oldest working Constitution in the world.

    Yet your individual freedoms are being eroded away?

    I'm really not sure what there is to celebrate.

    Happy Constitution Day:D
    America threw off the tyranny of the British.They dont take sh**t from
    nobody.
    Hope they dont forget the basic principles of the founding fathers
    in their foreign affairs.
    All men are born equal.

    It's a DP thread, not a court room drama. Breath and count to 10. :)

    Sorry :p I'm just not used to this kind of stuff spilling out of Politics & Religion into GC.

    I wonder why it wasn't posted in P&R in the first place - I'm merely a distraction compared to what you'll face in there :)
