Description
Use this easy-to-use resource to help teach your students about Constitution Day! On September 17, 1787, the Founding Fathers signed the U.S. Constitution. For over 225 years, the Constitution has served as the supreme law of the land. The Constitution, along with the Bill of Rights and other amendments, defines our government and guarantees our rights. Each year, on September 17, Americans celebrate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. In addition, The week of September 17 is also recognized as Constitution Week. During this time, Americans are asked to reflect on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and what it means to be a U.S. citizen.
