A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING THE WEEK OF

CONSTITUTION WEEK
WHEREAS, The Constitution of the United States of America
gives us the foundation for a free, prosperous, and independent

rights and liberties we have enjoyed may vanish; and

fully understand the provisions and principles contained in the
Constitution of the United States of America in order to be able
to support it properly as, "The greatest document for human liberty
in two thousand years of recorded history;" and
WHEREAS, The people of the United States should be deeply
grateful to their Founding Fathers for the wisdom and foresight
they displayed in writing and adopting the Constitution; and
WHEREAS, The independence granted to the American people to
enjoy such freedom and liberty, unknown to any other country, should
be celebrated by appropriate ceremonies and activities during
Constitution Week, September 17 through 23, as designated by procla-
mation of the President of the United States in accordance with Public
Law No. 915,
