Happy Constitution Day!

"On September 17, 1787, the final draft of the Constitution was signed by 39 delegates. The document was then sent to the states for ratification, and went into effect on June 21, 1788 when New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify the Constitution." Check out some of the Library of Congress' "rich resources and features to learn more about one of America’s most important documents." (Source: http://thomas.loc.gov/teachers/constitution.html)
