On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress passed a resolution authorizing a committee to develop a seal of the United States of America. This mission, designed to reflect the beliefs of the Founding Fathers, values and sovereignty of the new nation did not become a reality until June 20, 1782.
In heraldry, such as seals, each element has a specific meaning. Even colors have specific meanings. Red, white and blue has no meaning for the Stars and Stripes when it was adopted in 1777. But the colors of the Great Seal have special meanings. Charles Thompson, secretary of the Continental Congress, reporting to Congress on the Seal, stated:
"The colors of the blade (vertical stripes) are those used in the flag of the United States, white signifies purity and innocence, red, hardiness and valor, and Blue, the color of the pattern (the Broadband scratches) denotes vigilance, perseverance and justice. "
Facing the front of the seal, which is used 3,000 times in 2000, the president's signature to verify a series of official documents as ratified treaties, international agreements, appointments of Ambassadors and civil society, communications officers and heads of foreign governments the President. On the back of the seal design, which is the coat of arms of the United States, can be displayed on coins, stamps, passports, monuments and flags, and many other ways. The American public sees both the side and less familiar reverse, which has never been used in the seal, every day, when you change the $ 1 dollar bill.
Great Seal die, counter die, press and the Wardrobe, in which they are located in the Exhibit Hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a locked glass enclosure. Presidential Staff Officer of the Department Appointments is actually closing documents after the Secretary of State has countersigned the President's signature.
The American bald eagle is to support a shield composed of 13 red and white stripes (razors) that represent the original thirteen states with a blue bar (chief) that unites the shield and representing Congress. The U.S. motto, E Pluribus Unum (that is, to many, one), refers to this union. The olive branch and 13 arrows grasped by the eagle allude to peace and war, powers solely in Congress, and the constellation of stars symbolizes the new Nation taking its place among the sovereign powers.
The pyramid represents the strength and duration: the eye up and the motto, Annuit Coeptis (meaning He, [Godj has favored our undertakings), suggest many interventions of Providence in the United States in September. Roman numerals in the date of the Declaration of Independence. In the words of it, Novus Ordo Seclorum (meaning a new order of age), marking the beginning of a new era in the United States in 1776.
