Each day this week, the Holmes social studies department would like to celebrate the ratification of the U.S. Constitution through a number of activities. We would also like to celebrate this document through some quotes from and about the Constitution as well. Our first quote for the week is as follows:

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, 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.

--Preamble of the U.S. Constitution
