Constitution Day

Constitution Day, observed on September 17th in the United States, commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. It recognizes the document’s role in establishing the nation’s fundamental legal framework, including the principles of democracy, rights, and governance. This day encourages education about the Constitution’s history, significance, and ongoing impact on American life. While not a federal holiday, it promotes awareness of the shared values and legal foundations that underpin the United States. Schools, government offices, and organizations often hold events or activities to honor this pivotal event in American history.
