A resolution to declare September 17-23, 2019, as Constitution Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, September 17, 2019, marks the two hundred and thirty-second anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America by the Constitutional Convention; and
Whereas, The 232nd anniversary of the signing of the Constitution provides an historic opportunity for citizens throughout Michigan and the nation to pay tribute to our Founding Fathers and to reflect on the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of citizenship; and
Whereas, By instilling faith in the promise of democracy, the United States Constitution has served as a model for democratic governments around the globe; and
Whereas, The United States Constitution secured our commitment to freedom and democracy, a commitment which has guided us through more than two centuries of enormous growth and change; and
Whereas, We encourage all citizens to study the Constitution and reflect on the privilege of being an American with all the rights and responsibilities which that privilege involves; and
Whereas, The Constitution of the United States of America, the guardian of our liberties, embodies the principles of limited government in a Republic dedicated to rule by law; and
Whereas, Constitution Week is a time to emphasize citizens' responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 17-23, 2019, as Constitution Week in the state of Michigan.
