Constitution Day, also known as Citizenship Day, is observed annually on September 17. It is a federal observance, but not a holiday. Businesses follow normal working hours. If Constitution Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, schools, agencies, and other institutions observe it on the next weekday.
Why Is It Observed?
Constitution Day commemorates the day when the United States Constitution was formed and signed by 39 delegates of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, on September 17, 1787. The United States Constitution is the oldest in the world and is considered to be one of America's most important documents. It outlines the framework of the government. It protects the rights and freedoms of the people it serves and ensures that future generations will also benefit from this.
