### March 25 Ah, March 25! I remember the day well. It was the last day of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia and I was determined to make sure that we'd created a strong and lasting document that would serve our fledgling Republic for generations. As the day's debates wore on, I could see that my dear friend **James Madison** was growing tired- his voice was wavering and he was frequently forgetting the points he was trying to make. With the convention coming to a close and time running out, I had an idea. So I took Madison by the hand, and I told him, "Let's have one last dance- let's celebrate the Constitution we've made!" The other delegates laughed and smiled, then we all joined hands, and in a stately manner, we proceeded to **dance around the room!** And it worked- the mood was so lightened that we managed to move through the remaining points quickly and unanimously. Thus, I can say with confidence that, on March 25, 1787, I saved the Constitution- with a dance!
