The Law of the Land
From the desk of Senator David Pearce
The signing of the U.S. Constitution took place on Sept. 17, 1787, which means that this document has governed our country for 225 years. In recognition of this event, as well as the men and women who work to uphold the tenets of the document, Sept. 17 is celebrated as Constitution Day, while the week of Sept. 17-23 is known as Constitution Week.
Constitution Day as we know it today was created by law in 2004. The inception of Constitution Day took place in Iowa in 1911. The year 1939 saw a print campaign run by William Randolph Hearst in an attempt to establish a national Citizenship Day. By 1949, the governors of the contiguous 48 states agreed that this was an important celebration and proposed placing for the day of recognition and then three years later, Congress renamed it Citizenship Day.
