Happy Constitution Day! Today marks the 223rd anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution by the members of the Constitutional Convention. But the document wasn't fully ratified by all the States until January 1791, when Vermont became the last state to ratify.
Ayn Rand: "Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals--that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government--that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizens’ protection against the government."

Ah yes. Remember the Consitution? Those were wonderful days.... for people who are no longer alive. Let's celebrate a document that was in use in a time none of us can recall. Happy Constitution Day to you, Rainier.

What is this thing called Constitution? We don't have this thing in our County of Adams do we? I think in this area there are some very noisy people who tell other people what they are permitted to do with their money and their property. It seems to me that here in the County of Adams those noisy people tell the government what they think other people should do so that means that this thing called Constitution does not work? Excuse me please but I am a poor, dumb local person so I must be educated by people who know how I should live. I am too stupid to decide these things for myself. Thank you very much.

It died in 1912 when the Congress instated the income tax and thats when they threw it out and they have never allowed it back since .
