Constitution Day – Know the Details About a Very Important (and Endangered) Document

September 17th is “Constitution Day”—a time to reflect on one of the most important documents in American history. Signed in 1787, the U.S. Constitution set out the framework for our government and guaranteed the fundamental rights we still rely on today.

But here’s the thing: the Constitution isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a living document, and its protections depend on citizens knowing their rights and insisting they be respected. Whether it’s your right to free speech, due process, or protection under the law, those promises only mean something if people understand them—and stand up for them.

At the Law Offices of Kurt M. Young, LLC, we spend every day fighting for Ohio’s working families. Workers’ Compensation might not be written into the US Constitution, but the idea that everyone deserves fairness and protection when injured on the job flows right from its spirit. Oh, and by the way, it IS written into the Ohio Constitution.  

This Constitution Day, take a few minutes to read it, reflect on it, and remember that rights—like muscles—stay strong only if you use them.
