WHEREAS,                     Our Founding Fathers, in order to secure the blessings of liberty for themselves and their posterity, did ordain and establish a Constitution for the United States of America; and,

WHEREAS,                     The Constitution of the United States, the guardian of our liberties, embodies the principles of limited government in a Republic dedicated to rule by law, not by man; and,

WHEREAS,                     September 17, 2019, marks the two hundred thirty-second (232nd) anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States of America by the Constitutional Convention in 1787; and,

WHEREAS,                     it is the privilege and duty of all Americans to commemorate this anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States with appropriate ceremonies and activities; and,

WHEREAS,                     Public Law No. 915 guarantees the issuing of a proclamation by the President of the United States of America designating September 17th through September 23rd of each year as CONSTITUTION WEEK.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE ST. CHARLES PARISH COUNCIL AND THE PARISH PRESIDENT, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 17 - 23, 2019 AS

"CONSTITUTION WEEK"

IN ST. CHARLES PARISH AND HEREBY URGE ALL CITIZENS TO STUDY THE CONSTITUTION, AND REFLECT ON THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING AN AMERICAN WITH ALL THE RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES WHICH THAT PRIVILEGE INVOLVES.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, WE, THE ST. CHARLES PARISH COUNCIL AND THE PARISH PRESIDENT, do hereby commend the seven New Orleans District IV Chapters of the NATIONAL SOCIETY-DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION; Chapters:  Bayou Lafourche, Francois de Lery, New Orleans, Oliver Pollock Chapter, Spirit of ’76, St. Tammany, and Vieux Carre for their patriotic programs commemorating the occasion; and, to express gratitude for the privilege of American citizenship in our Republic functioning under that superb body of laws, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
