Each September 17, America celebrates Constitution Day and Citizenship Day to commemorate the day the Constitution was adopted in 1787. Congress and the U.S. Department of Education now require that any educational institution that receives Federal funds must hold an educational program on the United States Constitution for the students it serves. What better way is there to read and teach about the Constitution than by using the official Congressionally-authorized U.S. Government edition, widely known as the Constitution?
