la proclamations by tbe president It
originated before tbe adoption o f tbe'
constitution during tbe dnye of tbe
confederacy.
Tbe original articles of confederation
show they were signed by tbe dele­
gatee “at Philadelphia, la tbe state o f
Pennsylvania, tbe 8th day o f July, In
tba year o f ear Lord, 1778, and In tbe
third year o f tbe independence o f
America." The signer« dated “ the In­
dependence o f America” from tbe Dec­
laration o f I ndgpandi nee. July 4,1776,
although the war was still young and
continued several y a m longer. Tb*
constitution shows It was signed “tbe
17th day o f September A. D., 1787, and
o f tbe independence o f tbe United
States of'Am erica the 12th.“
-The first proclamation issued by
Washington as president was. “Given
under my bnbd end the seal of tbe
United States In tbe city o f New T ort
the 14th day o f August A. D., lTBfc
and in tbe fifteenth year o f tbe sov­
ereignty and independence o f the
United States." He used the phrase
“sovereignty and Independence“ In
two proclamations and then dropped
tbe word sovereignty.
A ll subsequent executive proctaaae-
doea are dated from the’ year o f Inde­
pendence, as beginning July 4, 1776,
although tbe Independence o f the Unit­
ed Statee was not acknowledged tfll
several years later. — Philadelphia
