National Constitution Day

National Constitution Day, observed on September 17 in the United States, commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. It celebrates the nation's foundational legal framework that establishes the structure of government, protects individual rights, and promotes the rule of law. The day encourages Americans to learn about their constitutional rights, the principles of democracy, and the importance of civic engagement. Schools, organizations, and government institutions often host educational events and discussions to honor this vital document that has guided the nation for over two centuries.
