DESCRIPTION:
American Citizenship Day, Constitution Day, or Citizenship Day, is observed annually on September 17. This day commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787 and recognizes all those who have become U.S. citizens, whether by birth or naturalization.
The purpose of American Citizenship Day is to celebrate and reflect on the responsibilities and privileges of U.S. citizenship. It also serves as an opportunity to educate the public about the Constitution and to encourage participation in the democratic process.
Citizenship Day dates back to 1940 when Congress established "I Am an American Day. " In 1952, the observance was renamed Citizenship Day. Later, in 2004, Congress changed the designation to Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, mandating educational institutions receiving federal funds to hold programs on the Constitution.STEPS TO US CITIZENSHIP
The process and time for an immigrant to obtain U.S. citizenship vary significantly based on individual circumstances. Generally, it includes several key steps and prerequisites:
Permanent Residency (Green Card): Before applying for citizenship, an individual must have been a permanent resident (green card holder) for at least five or three years if married to a U.S. citizen.
Residency Requirements: Applicants must have lived within the state or USCIS district where they are applying for at least three months and must have been physically present in the U.S. for at least 30 months out of the five years before applying (or 18 months out of three years if married to a U.S. citizen).
Application for Naturalization (Form N-400): This is the formal application process where the individual submits their form, along with the necessary documentation and application fee, to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Biometrics Appointment: After the application is submitted, the applicant may be required to attend a biometrics appointment for fingerprinting, photography, and sometimes a background check.
Citizenship Interview and Exam: The applicant must pass a citizenship interview, during which they are tested on their knowledge of English, U.S. history, and government (civics).
Oath of Allegiance: If the application is approved, the final step is officially becoming a U.S. citizen at a naturalization ceremony. The entire process, from applying for naturalization to taking the Oath of Allegiance, can take several months to over a year, depending on the USCIS office's backlog and the applicant's specific situation.CREATING THE US CONSTITUTION
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 preamble, the Declaration of Independence, was ratified on July 4, 1776.
The US Constitution was created and ratified in four months, starting May 25, 1787. In 1791, the ten amendments were added to the US Constitution and became known as the Bill of Rights.
American Citizenship Day honors the creation of the US Constitution. It celebrates the rights and responsibilities that come with U.S. citizenship and reminds Americans of their diverse backgrounds and the shared values that unite them.
