Every Sept. 17, our nation marks Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, a time set aside to reflect on the foundational framework of our democracy and the shared bonds of American citizenship.
Federal law mandates that every educational institution receiving federal funding conduct dedicated educational programming on the Constitution on this day. It is an annual reminder that forces us to look past the routine of daily life, ensuring that every rising generation understands both the mechanics and the moral weight of our self-governing republic. This day reminds us to examine the enduring covenant that binds us together across generations.
Recent national polling by America’s New Majority Project reinforces how deeply this shared legacy resonates: over 81 percent of Americans agree that all citizens should take pride in the founding fathers’ achievement in establishing the world’s longest-surviving democracy, while nearly 80 percent agree that they are proud to be an American.
