• Artist Howard Christy (1872-1952)

  Christy completed his allegorical painting of the signing, a five feet by seven feet portrayal of the spirit of liberty, peace, and justice, in 1937 in conjunction with the sesquicentennial celebration of the signing of the Constitution. Christy painted this 'We the People' rendition in Independence Hall, where at the time the portraits of the Founders hung from the walls.

The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the United States of America. The Constitution originally consisted of seven Articles. The first three Articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the legislature, consisting of the bicameral Congress; the executive, consisting of the President; and the judiciary, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts.
