THIS DAY IN HISTORY

Signing the United States Constitution

On September 17th we celebrate Constitution Day! Thirty-nine of the Founding Fathers signed the US Constitution on that day in 1787.

Significantly, many of the delegates directly involved in writing the Constitution acknowledged the hand of Divine Providence for this work. For example, Alexander Hamilton said:

For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system which without the finger of God could never have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests.

Today, we celebrate the United States Constitution and acknowledge God for His goodness in sustaining America as the longest on-going constitutional republic in the world. We encourage you to take time to: 1) read the Constitution, and 2) learn more about this document and the people involved in its creation.

Another way to remember the US Constitution and the Founding Fathers is to come see the newest exhibit at the WallBuilders’ Museum which includes original documents from all 39 signers of the US Constitution!

A helpful resource to understand the Constitution better, is our book Catechism on the Constitution.
