"We the people ......."
The history is so powerful .... as mentioned in my previous blog of Washington seeing the documents ... now seeing where they were written and ratified.
This museum was set up like it would of been with all the members that were there that discussed and signed the Constitution ... all but 3 that were there did not sign ... the chairman was George Washington ... at that time had already served 2 terms as President. With Benjamin Franklin nominating Washington as the chair the numbers rose.
George Washington
Benjamin Franklin
other members of the 13 states and delegates - no states of the South...
even the guy behind me saying ....who is this.... bloody tourist
Interesting fact ... only 1 man out of the 39 that were there became President
James Madison - 4th President
the room where the constitution was ratified
Washington's chair
The crest on the chair - was it a sun rise or a sun set...
"its the dawn over the new country" - its a sunrise
Constitution Hall
The Liberty Bell rang in the tower of the Constitution Hall
( I love this pic - showing the tower and the bell )
the first congress sat and did so for 10 years
The seats where the states delegates sat.
The Senate - the head of the Senate is the Vice Predident
The emblems on the floor are of the original states that signed
