- Today we celebrate the signing of the Constitution of the United States of America on September 17, 1787. In May of 1787, 55 men met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to make some changes to the Articles of Confederation. After many discussions, several debates, and a great many compromises, these men created a totally new document to govern the United States of America. This was the Constitution.
The Constitution was only four large hand-written pages long, but it created the ideas on which the United States government is founded – ideas of liberty, equality and justice. None of the signers were completely satisfied with the final document because it was impossible to please everybody about everything, but they knew they had done their very best. They also created a way to make changes in the document, if needed, through something called amendments. In over 200 years, we have only changed, or amended, the Constitution 27 times. It remains the foundation of our government and country today.
