September 17-23 is the 70th anniversary of Constitution Week during which time we recognize the binding document that has held our country together since it was conceived and designed in 1787 with ratification by nine states June 21, 1788. It is because of this document that we are now celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States.
The first observance of Constitution Week was so successful that on January 5, 1956, Senator Knowland introduced a Senate Joint Resolution to have the President designate September 17-23 annually as Constitution Week. The resolution was adopted on July 23, 1956, and signed into Public Law 915 on August 2, 1956.
