Constitution Day (or Citizenship Day) is an American federal observance that recognizes the adoption of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. It is
normally observed on September 17, the day in 1787 that delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the document in Philadelphia.[1]
The United
States Constitution is the supreme law of
the United States of America.[1] The Constitution,
originally comprising seven articles, delineates the national frame of
government. Its first three articles entrench the
doctrine of the separation of powers,
whereby the federal
government is divided into three branches: the legislative,
consisting of the bicameral Congress;
the executive,
consisting of the President;
and the judicial,
consisting of the Supreme
Court and other federal courts. Articles Four, Five and Six entrench
concepts of federalism, describing
the rights and responsibilities of state
governments and of the states in
relationship to the federal government. Article Seven establishes the procedure subsequently
used by the thirteen States to ratify it.
Since the
Constitution came into force in
1789, it has been amended twenty-seven times[2] to meet the changing needs of a nation
now profoundly different from the eighteenth-century world in which its
creators lived.[3] In general, the first ten amendments,
known collectively as the Bill of Rights,
offer specific protections of individual liberty and justice and place restrictions
on the powers of government.[4][5] The majority of the seventeen later
amendments expand individual civil rights protections. Others address issues
related to federal authority or modify government processes and procedures.
Amendments to the United States Constitution, unlike ones made to many
constitutions worldwide, are appended to the document. All four pages[6] of the original U.S. Constitution are
written on parchment.[7]
According
to the United States Senate: "The Constitution's first three words—We
the People—affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve
its citizens. For over two centuries the Constitution has remained in force
because its framers wisely separated and balanced governmental powers to
safeguard the interests of majority rule and minority rights, of liberty and
equality, and of the federal and state governments."[3]
The first
permanent constitution of its kind,[a] adopted by the people's representatives
for an expansive nation, it is interpreted, supplemented, and implemented by a
large body of constitutional
law, and has influenced the constitutions of other nations.
