About Constitution Day in the Marshall Islands

DESCRIPTION:
The Marshall Islands' National Day, also known as Constitution Day, is celebrated annually on May 1st. This public holiday commemorates the adoption of the Marshall Islands' constitution on May 1, 1979. The constitution established the Republic of the Marshall Islands as a self-governing entity in free association with the United States, which provided for the country's defense and allowed for financial assistance.
The Marshall Islands, located in the central Pacific Ocean, were initially under Spanish control before being sold to Germany in 1885. After World War I, Japan took control of the islands under a League of Nations mandate. Following World War II, the Marshall Islands became part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands administered by the United States.
The process of gaining self-government for the Marshall Islands began in the 1970s, culminating in the drafting and adoption of the constitution on May 1, 1979. The Compact of Free Association with the United States was signed in 1982, and the Marshall Islands gained full independence on October 21, 1986.
Constitution Day is a significant event in the country, marked by various festivities and activities. Celebrations include parades, traditional dance performances, sports competitions, and speeches by political leaders. The day is an opportunity for the Marshallese people to express their national pride and unity while honoring their history and achievements since gaining self-government.
