"We the People: The Most Powerful Words in American History."
The We the People T-Shirt is more than apparel—it's a DECLARATION of democratic principles, a powerful reminder of the foundational promise of the United States Constitution, and a bold statement that government derives its power from the citizens, not the other way around.
