Constitution Day is Celebrated September 18th This Year
Constitution Day this year is Monday, September 18th. It is the 10th anniversary of the special day that was established on September 17th, 1997.
This year General Colin Powell will lead the nationwide annual recitation of the preamble to the U.S. Constitution on Monday, September 8th – 11 am PST and 2 pm EST.
National figures who have previously led the preamble are President George Bush Sr., U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Anthony Kennedy; General Tommy Franks; Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice, Roy Moore; and Governor Edward Rendell of Pennsylvania.
As in tradition, immediately following the preamble there will be a “roll call of the 50 states”, the first 13 in order they ratified the Constitution and the remaining 37 in the order they were admitted to the union.
Schools across America will celebrate by conducting lessons and watching DVDs concerning the Bill of Rights and other history and civics curriculum.
