It was in 1776 that we declared independence, but not until 1783 was a peace agreement reached and independence recognized, and not until 1787 was a United States established by the ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America. It was on this latter date that America became established as a unique nation, where the people gave the government the only powers it had, and carefully limited those powers. Those powers had to do with the external objects such as war, peace and foreign commerce; while all other powers related to internal affairs within each of the states was reserved to them, and included the concerns of lives, liberties and properties of the people and the internal order, commerce, education, and so on. It was the Constitution that determined what the Presidency was, what the houses of Congress were, and what the Supreme Court was. Yes, its the Constitution that determines what the Supreme Court is, not the court that decides what the Constitution is. But the overthrowers of America would have it otherwise, substituting the rule of mCtr for the law which is the Constitution. So in 1976, let us surely look ahead to the 1987 Bicentennial of the United States of America, to insure that we wont have lost by then all that our founding fathers set out 200 years ago to establish. After all, what could it avail iis to observe our declaration of independence if we fail to observe the anniversary of the Constitution that made us the United States, the United States of America? |
