“IT’S A REPUBLIC,
IF YOU CAN KEEP IT…”
-Benjamin Franklin
U.S. Constitution Week is observed annually September 17-23 in honor of the original signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787, during the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was ratified in 1788 and operationalized in 1789. As the world’s longest surviving written charter of government, the first three words, “We the People,” underscore the fact that the United States federal government was purposefully designed to ensure that it served its citizens – not the other way around.
