Constitution Day

"On every question of construction, [let us] carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed." -Thomas Jefferson

The Constitution of the United States is the longest lasting constitution in world history. Countries, like France, have had many constitutions in the same time that we have had ours.  Why?  The U. S. Constitution is the only document of its kind which establishes liberties and a republican government with balance and order.  No other country has ever been as prosperous and well of than the United States.  America is the example, that until recent years, has been viewed by countries around the world as a "city on a hill".  What has happened to America? Do we know what the Constitution stands for?  I would submit the Americans don't know this law which governs our land.  Knowing the principles of republican government found in the constitution is essential for a free people.  I don't know if Americans know there Constitution.  They must not, because if they did they would not vote for the leaders the way they do.  Here is a video showing the backstabbing of our Constitution by our leaders:
