Constitution Day.
Constitution Day was established by law in 2004. Before the law was enacted, the holiday was known as Citizenship Day. In addition to renaming the holiday, the act mandated that all publicly funded educational institutions provide educational programming on the history of the U.S. Constitution on that day..
"Ultimate sovereignty resides with the people--they are to direct and control the government, as is the Constitution," said Richard Gambitta, associate professor and director of the UTSA Institute for Law and Public Affairs. "Each generation must marry both the message and power of the people with the message and power of the constitution, because when disparate, the government staggers or runs amuck or falls. The living Constitution's progress is long and winding, but it bends towards justice. Participation by students in Constitution Day is important to forging the marriage and to regenerating anew the commitment to the perpetual pursuance of justice.".
