Constitution Day

Constitution Day or Citizenship Day is a federal holiday that recognizes the adoption of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. The law establishing this holiday was created with the passage of an amendment in 2004.  Before this, a holiday called “Citizenship Day” was celebrated on the third Sunday of May. The new act mandates that all publicly funded educational institutions, and all federal agencies provide education programming on the history of the American Constitution. Constitution Day is observed on September 17 which is the day in 1787 that delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the document in Philadelphia.
