ÒWe the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.Ó These words written 233 years ago are the preamble to the U.S. Constitution. ÒConstitution Week, which is Sept. 17-23, celebrates the signing of this important document,Ó an announcement from the Onagomingkway Chapter states. ÒRead beyond the preamble to understand the structure of the three branches of our representative government. Study the amendments and the Bill of Rights. Know your Constitution.Ó (Photo courtesy of NSDAR Onagomingkway Chapter)
