U.S. Ratifies The Constitution
- June 21, 1788

 

US
ConstitutionThis week was a historic week for the United States of America. On June 21, 1788, New Hampshire became the ninth and last necessary state to ratify the Constitution of the United States, thereby making the document the law of the land. By 1786, defects in the post Revolutionary War Articles of Confederation were apparent, such as the lack of central authority over foreign and domestic commerce. Congress endorsed a plan to draft a new constitution, and on May 25, 1787, the Constitutional Convention convened at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. On September 17, 1787, after three months of debate moderated by convention president George Washington, the new U.S. constitution, which created a strong federal government with an intricate system of checks and balances, was signed by 38 of the 41 delegates present at the conclusion of the convention. As dictated by Article VII, the document would not become binding until it was ratified by nine of the 13 states. Today the U.S. Constitution is the oldest written constitution in operation in the world.

Ruth Bell Graham passes away

Ruth Bell GrahamThis past June 14th, Ruth Bell Graham, wife of evangelist Billy Graham, passed away at the age of 87. As his most trusted life-partner, she played a vital supporting role in her husband's career. She also taught Bible studies at North Carolina Women's Prison and at a local college with working with troubled students. One of those she helped was a young woman called Patsy Daniels, who became the best-selling writer Patricia Cornwell, which began an unlikely decades-long friendship between the minister's wife and the best-selling crime writer. Ruth encouraged Cornwell to write and Cornwell's first book was a biography of the woman that virtually raised her. Cornwell is a repository of Ruth Bell Graham's stories and has seen firsthand the spirit of this courageous woman. FlatSigned is proud to offer an amazing SIGNED copy of this wonderful book below!
