Happy Birthday, America!
The above is, of course, an image of our Constitution. It’s a beautiful old document and the language used is equally beautiful. And, I might point out, so is the handwriting.
You can read the document in modern type here. It’s a good read and everyone should at least once in a lifetime. No, really. It is not without its flaws, but the the good thing about our Constitution is that its flaws can be re-addressed and fixed. By the will of the people. That, to me, is evidence that it’s a living document, not one fixed in time and meaning, as some would argue.
For a fun time, go see how much you know about the US. Here’s an online Independence Day Quiz. There are 30 questions, 20 of which are found on citizenship tests. I managed to get 29 out of 30 and I’m too embarrassed to tell you which one I got wrong.
Well, I renamed the national anthem. I have no idea what I was thinking.
