Constitution Day is this Saturday - Susan Shell Joins the JMC Constitution Day Steering Group and The Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787, and every year that date passes by with hardly a sound. Sure, now that it's considered a day of federal observance you'll find government schools around the country including it in their lesson plans. But these discussions generally focus on Constitution Trivia instead of what's really important. While it may be good to educate our young on how many years a Senator serves, or how Supreme Court justices are appointed, it's not enough. Seriously lacking in the public discourse is the actual purpose of the Constitution its underlying principles.
Constitution Day (or Citizenship Day) is an American federal observance that recognizes the adoption of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. It is observed on September 17, the day the U.S. Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787.
