📜Happy Constitution Day📜

On September 17th, 1787, the delegates at the Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution, paving the way for its ratification by the Thirteen States.

Starting in May 1787, the Constitutional Convention was organized by the Continental Congress to fix the issues caused by the Articles of Confederation, the country's first constitution. As the delegates debated, they realized that a new system would be the only way to save the new country from collapse. After months of heated debate and high-stakes compromise, they created the Constitution.

That constitution is still largely the same one in use today, 239 years later. Since its adoption, the Constitution has been amended (or changed) 27 times.

Today, the Bolingbrook Historic Preservation Commission joins our neighbors and communities across our country in remembering the 2,977 innocent lives lost on September 11th, 2001.

We also honor and remember the bravery, courage, and sacrifice of thousands of first responders, service members, and ordinary people who stepped up, helping neighbors and strangers, and answered the call to serve their country.

25 years later, we will Never Forget.

On this day, 250 years ago, the Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence, proclaiming the Thirteen Colonies as independent States and establishing the United States of America.

The Declaration of Independence is more than just about American independence. It is about the principles and ideas that have inspired and influenced generations of Americans and people all around the world: freedom, democracy, human rights, equality, and more. The United States was founded on those principles and ideas. It is up to every generation--then, now, and after--to ensure that those principles and ideas build towards a more perfect union.

Happy 4th of July, Bolingbrook!

Happy 250th Birthday, America!
