I like how they present this- you can draw your own conclusions from this but I don't see the author trying to.

I am glad to see this page on Stumble Upon. I carry a copy of the Constitution in my purse as well. Everyone should familiarize themselves with the Constitution.

Every American should make it their business to know our Constitution. The foundation on which our Government was built. Our "Mission Statement" if you will.

From the page: "Have you ever heard someone say, "That's unconstitutional!" or "That's my constitutional right!" and wondered if they were right? You might be surprised how often people get it wrong. You might also be surprised how often people get it right. Your best defense against misconception is reading and knowing your Constitution."

A very interesting look at our Constitution in the U.S., and some of the common misconceptions about it. For instance... From the page: "God It has often been seen on the Internet that to find God in the Constitution, all one has to do is read it, and see how often the Framers used the words "God," or "Creator," "Jesus," or "Lord." Except for one notable instance, however, none of these words ever appears in the Constitution, neither the original nor in any of the Amendments. The notable exception is found in the Signatory section, where the date is written thusly: "Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven". The use of the word "Lord" here is not a religious reference, however. This was a common way of expressing the date, in both religious and secular contexts. This lack of any these words does not mean that the Framers were not spiritual people, any more than the use of the word Lord means that they were. What this lack of these words is expositive of is not a love for or disdain for religion, but the feeling that the new government should not involve itself in matters of religion. In fact, the original Constitution bars any religious test to hold any federal office in the United States. Thanks to James MacDonald for the idea."
