The Constitution of the United States of America is commemorated each year between September 17 - 23rd. September 17 is designated Constitution Day, celebrating the signing of the Constitution by the 39 delegates of the Constitu- tional Convention. In 1956 Congress, with the urging of the Daughters of the American Revolution, set aside September 17 - 23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week.
