On September 17th, 1787 delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia signed the U.S. Constitution, a written charter for a new—and enduring—federal government.
WE THE PEOPLE of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence (ed.), 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.
With these words, the delegates convened at Philadelphia and developed a framework that would provide balance and freedom, consider federal and state interests, and guarantee individual human rights.
Constitution Day, established by the U.S. Congress in 2005, is an opportunity for all of us to reflect on the foundations of our legal system and the rule of law we have come to know.
It’s a time to celebrate the rich history of our most precious founding document.
It is a time to acknowledge the ways in which it has shaped the American story and continues to inform and inspire our stories today.
Please join the Pearland Police Department in recognizing Constitution Day on September 17, 2022.
