Constitution Day in the US: Is the document still relevant? Any action required?

September 17 is Constitution Day in the US, commemorating the day in 1787 when 37 white men gathered to sign the document they had created.

The preamble: We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, Insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

While the US Constitution is a legal document, we can ask ourselves what responsibility we have, as individuals, to know what it says and to defend it in these times. Is there anything we should be doing?

How are we as a body politic doing with each of those six ideals? We have less than a perfect union, are still working on justice, are not seeing domestic tranquility in the news, are still figuring out what "common defence" means, are still figuring out who can benefit from the promotion of general welfare and are still working on the balance between the "blessings of Liberty" and an individual's responsibilities to the common good.

Where do you fit in here? Can we assume the Constitution and the government it created will last, no matter what?

Let's talk, keeping in mind the encouragement of Felix Adler, the founder of Ethical Culture, to look around us, see what the issues are, discuss remedies, and act together.
