This Day in History: September 17

On September 17, 1787, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention met for the last time to sign the document they had created. The National Archives and Records Administration celebrates this important day in our nation's history by presenting the following activities, lesson plans, and information. We encourage teachers and students at all levels to learn more about our Constitution and government.

Yeah, that would be nice, particularly since many of the history books being foisted on unsuspecting students/future voters "teach" them all about states' rights to form militias.
