Constitution Day and Citizenship Day

Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is an American federal observance recognizing the adoption of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens by birth or naturalization. It is normally observed on September 17, the day the U.S. Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787 in Philadelphia. The Department of Education requires that any postsecondary institution that receives federal funds must hold an educational program pertaining to the U.S. Constitution on September 17 (or during the preceding or following week if September 17 falls on a weekend) of each year.
