Constitution Day
September 17 is designated as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day to commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787.
🗽 Background
The late Senator Robert C. Byrd, a former West Virginia Democrat and Congress’ unofficial Constitutional scholar, noted that American students often lack sufficient knowledge about the U.S. Constitution.
In December 2004, Senator Byrd proposed an amendment — passed by both the House and the Senate — requiring educational institutions that receive federal funds to hold an educational program about the U.S. Constitution each year on September 17 (or the nearest weekday if it falls on a weekend).
🎓 Columbia College Observance
Columbia College holds annual events to commemorate Constitution Day and promote student awareness of the U.S. Constitution.
📚 Resources
- National Archives – Constitution Day activities and materials
- Library of Congress – Information and educational resources
