Constitution Day was established by Congress in 2004 in an attempt to increase students\u2019 knowledge about the constitution. Constitution Day is observed on September 17 because the delegates of the Constitutional Convention met for the last time on September 17, 1787 to sign the United States Constitution and present it to the American Public.
