Article VII. I like that, the Constituti0n acknoledges the passage of time as time in the year of Our Lord. That is a clear implicit endorsement that:

the birth of Jesus Christ the dividing point of world history.

The birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Christ are the "turning points" in world history. It is fitting, therefore, that Jesus Christ be the separation of "old" and "new." BC was "before Christ" and since His birth, we have been living "in the year of our Lord." Philippians 2:10-11, "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
