We have our day on July 4th when we commemorate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, which really isn't a document which governs our nation. The Constitution is that document and has helped define our nation's successes throughout its 200+ years of existence. So why do we celebrate the Fourth of July but not a “Constitution Day” when we commemorate the Constitution? Nothing against the Fourth of July here but it's a bit strange the way we've ordered our festivals.
A guess only… but the D of Iwas the starting point and the Constitution was sort of a new and improved version of the Articles of Confederation.In my state (The Peoples' Republic of California) we are mandated by the State Dept of Educ. to have an appropriate lesson on Constitution Day each year. One of the few mandates I can really get behind (but that is best left to other threads at other times ;D).
