PRESS: Constitutional kudos

| September 22, 2019 1:00 AM

It is important to read the Constitution to our youth of today. I have found that when I ask the youth why these men found it important to have a Constitution, they could not answer.

I was taught the reason these men wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights was because of the oppression they suffered before they came to this country. Many of the youth of today that I talked to did not even know where the signers came from.

Thank you for the article. I wonder if you could print the life history of each of the signers to help explain why the articles in the Constitution were important to them.
