Miscellaneous Monday – Constitution Day
Happy Monday, everyone! I hope everyone had a good weekend and made some wonderful memories!
September 17th is the 231st anniversary of the signing of the US Constitution, and here in the USA, this anniversary has been dubbed Constitution Day.
Constitution Day falls on September 17th, the anniversary of the official signing of the US constitution in 1787. The document stood as the result of tireless work and compromise between the delegates of the Constitutional Convention – basically to bring about an agreement between the states which would allow a central government the power to enforce its decisions and allow the USA to stand as an international force, while maintaining a reasonable level of independence within the separate states.
Of course, to this day the constitution of 1787 has formed the basis for the development and running of the USA as we know it, priding itself on its roots in democracy, rights and the social contract. Certainly some aspects of the constitution have been contested over the years as attitudes change over time – key issues including slavery and women in employment, while the core elements have remained.
So, I thought it would be fun to revisit some of the gorgeous patriotic kits were have here at Sweet Shoppe Designs. The Shoppe is overflowing with all kinds of red, white, and blue products. There are so many amazing things to choose from! Here are just a few of the products I found:
