The U.S. Constitution, which established the framework of American government and defined citizen rights, was signed on September 17, 1787. This date became a national observance, , in 2004 due to a bill sponsored by Senator Robert Byrd. Believing that all citizens should know their rights, Byrd's bill requires schools and federal agencies receiving federal funds to provide education on the Constitution.
