It’s been 237 years since delegates from around the then-fledgling United States came together in Philadelphia to hammer out what would become the country’s founding document, but how its principals are interpreted continues to be shaped through the generations.
The long arc of the Constitution’s history will be discussed on Tuesday – which is Constitution Day, the anniversary of the day that delegates to the Constitutional Conference signed the document – at a program co-hosted by the Historical Society of the New York Courts, the King Manor Museum and the Queens Family Court.
