What is Constitution Day?
Constitution Day is celebrated each year on September 17th, the date in 1787 when the delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the document they had created.
Our Constitution is a charter of human rights and human dignity. It is a bold commitment by a people to the ideal of dignity protected through law.”-- William J. Brennan, Jr.
