Get Ready for Constitution Day with Publications from the U.S. GovernmentEach September 17, America celebrates Constitution Day and Citizenship Day to commemorate the adoption of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. Congress and the U.S. Department of Education now require that on that day, 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 Pocket Constitution? In addition to this Government classic, the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) sells other official Government publications about the Constitution, the flag, and our Government, as well as special publications to help new residents become citizens.
