Constitution Week

Each year, the President of the United States issues a proclamation declaring this week as Constitution Week.

Why Do we Celebrate and Promote Constitution Week

1. To encourage the study of the historical events that led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787;

2. To remind the public that the Constitution is the basis of America’s great heritage and the foundation for its way of life;

3. To emphasize U.S. citizens’ responsibility to protect, defend and preserve the U.S. Constitution.
