Constitutions, Good and Bad, Contentions, September 18, 2009. "The U.S. Constitution was signed 222 years ago yesterday. But for all the reverence with which the Constitution is treated, Constitution Day isn’t one of the higher-visibility federal holidays.

Or perhaps it’s because, until 2004, the day was known—to the few who had heard of it—as Citizenship Day."
