It started in the French and Indian Wars. It is probably most famous from the Revolutionary War, but was also used in the Civil War. It has different meaning to different people, but basically it means unity. I used it as a symbol of unity for all of us who believe in the Constitution to have a peaceful revolution this November 4 and vote in people who stand for the Constitution. <BR/><BR/>If you meant literally just the snake, which you probably did, it stands for the 13 colonies. There is only 8 sections because Franklin put all the New England states into one section.DRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02513605442426244898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24741065.post-38630741298352352922008-10-26T16:12:00.000-05:002008-10-26T16:12:00.000-05:00That's right, DR.

And state's rights, as well, fall under strict adherence to the Constitution, not the opinions of the Judges of each state.<BR/><BR/>The Consititution of the United States is not an opinion piece: The Constitition are the laws that govern this country. To those free citizens who wish not to follow the laws governing this country, are also free to leave at any time. <BR/><BR/>As a matter of fact, those who are opposed to living within the Articles of the American Constitution, should leave. <BR/><BR/>(DR--what's the significance of the snake?)laranoreply@blogger.com
