Constitution Day is the celebration of the act that consists in the very base of USA’s political and social organization. On September 17, 1787 the Constitutional Convention was signed and represents to date the highest expression of law and structural organization of the government. Constitution Day, as a celebration of this event was proclaimed in 1940 by the American Congress. The third Sunday in May was then designated to be the American Day. In 1952, the celebration was renamed as Citizenship Day and was set to be organized on September 17. It was in 2004 when the official name of this important day was changed again into Constitution Day.

The 223rd anniversary of the document signing is eventful. In Washington, the National Archives organize an entire day of celebration and offers to the first 223 curious visitors a piece of cake. There are also many trivia games that take place in school and universities, lesson plans that focus on this event and try to best explain it to the children. Poster making, plays staging, readings, are just some of the activities that mark this celebration.
