Thursday was US Constitution Day here in the United States. In celebration of this day, our founder was good enough to share this he received from Walden University which we hope all find of interest:
Happy 228th United States Constitution Day!
Did you know that when the Constitution was signed, the United States’ population was 4 million? At that time, Philadelphia was the nation’s largest city, with 40,000 inhabitants. Today there are over 321 million people living in America. Philadelphia is the fifth largest city, with a population of 1.5 million.
