HAPPY CONSTITUTION DAY! Sept 17, 2007, marks the 220^th year since the signing of the Constitution of the United States! It is said to be the shortest written document which has governed a major world nation for the longest period of time! I think it’s because her principles were derived from the Bible, though not exclusively because the constitution has it’s mix of Greek and Roman philosophy as well.

I like what Justice Antonin Scalia said about the so-called “living Constitution”….

"...the Constitution that I interpret is not living but dead...It means today not what current society (much less the Court) thinks it ought to mean, but what it meant when it was adopted."

Although, the culture of our founding fathers wasn’t a perfect “Christian culture” the majority held a Christian worldview and expected it to be a “given” that our moral and civil law was established by God, thus being the basis for the political pact called our constitution in order that:

We 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.
