May 1, Law Day.
9.050. In order to rededicate Missourians to the principles
of the democratic form of government; to emphasize that ours is a
government of law and not of men; and to further our philosophy
that, "The Welfare of the People shall be the Supreme Law", May
first of each year shall be designated as "Law Day U.S.A." It is
not the purpose of this section to declare another legal holiday,
but a day to solemnly declare allegiance to the principles of
democracy, and respect for law.
