National Constitution Week

by Steve Laube

Textured American Constitution with US Flag

September 17-23 is National Constitution Week in the United States.
September 17th is National Constitution Day.

"It was officially enacted on August 2, 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower from a congressional resolution petitioned by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The purpose of the observance week was to promote study and education about the constitution which was originally adopted by the American Congress of the Confederation on September 17, 1787." (Quoted from the Apples for the Teacher web site.)
