TO RECOGNIZE DECEMBER FIFTEENTH AS "BILL OF RIGHTS DAY" IN HONOR OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

Whereas, the United States Constitution is the embodiment of our democratic society and without the addition of the Bill of Rights by our forefathers, many of the rights that we have today would be nonexistent; and

Whereas, in celebration and remembrance of both the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights, South Carolina recognizes December fifteenth to honor the freedoms afforded by these documents. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognize December fifteenth as "Bill of Rights Day" in honor of the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution.
