Belmont Celebrates Constitution Day
In this week’s devotional, we celebrated Constitution Day with a recitation of William Tyler Page’s “American’s Creed” by two upper school students, Kells Wright and Meika Buckler, and an all-school recitation of the Preamble to the Constitution, led by the lower school. The text of both are included below:
“I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
“I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.”[1]
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”[2]
How grateful we are for the Constitution of the United States of America and for the freedoms that it protects, ultimately putting the governing power in the hands of the people!
