National Citizenship Day marks the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States at a gathering in Philadelphia of delegates from all thirteen colonies on September 17, 1787.
The founding documents of the United States were created over 15 years.
The US Constitution was a revolutionary document, setting up a new idea of a representative republic based upon democratic values with three official arms of government designed to ensure no single element of government had more power than the other. Essentially a job description, the US Constitution outlines the areas of responsibility and authority of each of the three branches and the checks and balances each branch could use to keep the others from gaining too much power. These three branches are:
The Judiciary covers laws and interstate commerce.
Congress, through the Senate and House, represents state and people's interests.
The Executive branch includes the nation's administration and its public face in international affairs.
The preamble, known as the Declaration of Independence, was ratified on July 4, 1776.
It took four months, from May 25, 1787, to create and ratify the US Constitution. In 1791 the ten amendments were added to the US Constitution and became known as the Bill of Rights.
