Constitution - The Signers
I hadn't realized it but there is a section of the Constitution that lists who signed it with a declaration that they have signed it in behalf of the states they represent.

This is very interesting. I do not recall covering this section when we studied the constitution in school. I am proud to know that someone back then thought to have this included in what is now such an important document in our history as well as our active days of live.
