Constitution Day at FIU

History, research tips, and events to celebrate the U.S. Constitution.

Introduction

This guide is intended to provide FIU students with information about Constitution Day events and researching U.S. Constitutional Law. September 17 is designated as Constitution Day in the United States to commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution on this day in 1787. Constitution Day is not only fun, its celebration by institutions which receive federal funding is federally mandated under 36 USC 106 (linked below.) 

As you peruse this guide and participate in Constitution Day, we welcome you to reflect on our theme of discussion for this year's celebrations: What does the Constitution mean to you in 2023?
