Happy Birthday to the U.S. Constitution

On Sept. 17, 1787, the Founding Fathers signed the U.S. Constitution. Since then, the Constitution has served as the supreme law of the land. The Constitution, along with the Bill of Rights and other amendments, define our government and guarantee our rights. Each year on Sept. 17, Americans celebrate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. This is a time we can reflect on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and what it means to be a U.S. citizen.
