History may be seen as a series of trying and tumultuous events — tragic times of loss and sorrow.

The United States has certainly had its share of such experiences. And each time, our people have responded with resolve and resilience.

Nothing reflects that resilience more than our Constitution, signed by 39 of the Framers on Sept. 17, 1781 — a day now celebrated nationally as Constitution Day.

It is a remarkable document.

It set forth a series of guiding principles that organized power so that we have a workable government that would not unduly encroach on our liberties but would, instead preserve freedom and order for generations to come. To that end, it limited the powers vested in the federal government, divided those powers among several branches and incorporated a series of checks and balances to limit the power of each branch, and established an independent judiciary that would ensure that those boundaries were observed.
