This week is “Celebrate Freedom Week” across our state. The Preamble states …

The Preamble uses the phrase, “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” What does this mean? The natural right to life means that individuals, and not the government, have control over their lives. Liberty means individuals have the right to be free. Being free would later be more fully explained in the Bill of Rights with ideas that included freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of peaceable assembly, freedom of religious exercise, and freedom to petition the government. Finally, “the pursuit of happiness” is whatever individuals define as making them happy. Individuals have the right to try to achieve goals that will lead to their personal happiness. Limits on these rights exist when one person tries to interfere, or limits, the natural rights of another.”

The Flyer Volleyball Teams will play at Home against the Gamble Rogers Stingrays tonight. Please come out and support both teams! It’s Camo spirit Night, so come out and show your best Camo Attire! Girls play at 5:30 and Boys play at 6:30. You can purchase your ticket on Schoolpay for $3.00. We hope to see you there!

This week is “Celebrate Freedom Week” across our state. The Preamble states …

The Preamble states that all people have “unalienable rights.” What does that mean? The Declaration describes the specific natural rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These rights are unalienable (they cannot be taken away by government). Thomas Jefferson took this idea from the Enlightenment thinker, John Locke. He believed that individuals have both a right and a duty to preserve their own lives. Locke also argued that individuals should be free to make choices about how to conduct their own lives as long as they do not interfere with the liberty of others. He believed liberty should be far-reaching. As Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he, and the other Founders, held this idea as fundamental and it has become a building block of our American philosophy.”

This week is “Celebrate Freedom Week” across our state. The Preamble states …

The Preamble states that “All men are created equal.” These words from the Declaration of Independence have resonated as the ideals of the United States. In 1776 the phrase “all men are created equal” did not apply to everyone. However, over time, the United States has expanded the idea to include more people into that phrase. Abolitionists in the 19th century asked Americans to live up to the ideal of equality and eliminate slavery. The women’s rights movements of the 19th and 20th centuries championed representation for women. The civil rights movement of the 20th century pressured America to honor the commitment made in the declaration. The document still speaks to us today about the rights of Americans, as it did in 1776. Today we continue to discuss and extend the concept of equality. It is a foundational ideal that we strive to live up to.”

Sunday is Constitution Day across the United States. This federal holiday commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787. The Constitution created the structure of our government. It is the most important document in our country’s history and one of the most significant documents in world history.

Why do we celebrate Constitution Day today? We celebrate Constitution Day because that historic document, along with its Bill of Rights, created the first government that existed to serve its people. The Constitution was created by the people for the benefit of the people. We celebrate Constitution Day not for the history behind it but for the role it serves in the lives of all Americans. The protections the Constitution upholds are just as important now as they were in 1787. Happy Constitution Day!
