Today we celebrate Constitution Day, the day that the Framers signed our federal constitution. We all know that this document is special in human history, a truly unique governing charter that separates the powers of government so that the rights of the people are protected. This week we also celebrated Article V Day. On September 15 Col. George Mason stood to point out that there would need to be a way for the people to resist a tyrannical federal government. 'No amendment of the proper kind would ever be obtained by the people, if the government should become oppressive, as he verily believed would be the case,' James Madison wrote of Mason's comments. The rest of the Framers agreed, and they unanimously adopted the Convention of States option into Article V of the Constitution. Because of Mason’s courage, the people have a way to propose the kind of constitutional amendments that Congress never will--to limit federal power, impose fiscal restraints, and mandate term limits. Together, we will restore our great republic. And it's all thanks to George Mason.
