Constitution Day & Election 2008 Coverage
On September 17, 1787, the U.S. Constitution was signed by 39 delegates from 12 states. That day is now celebrated each year as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, and the week of September 17 is annually proclaimed as Constitution Week.
Explore the history, principles and impact of the U.S. Constitution and learn about the responsibilities of citizenship in the September Spotlight of the Month honoring Constitution Week.
Plus, our popular Election 2008 feature contains top-quality, editorially-written content and candidate widgets on the Overview page. Updated links to articles, websites, timelines, and graphics offer students a one-stop hub of election coverage!
The My Analysis section provides students with critical questions and a guided approach to decision making and knowledge application during this popular election year.
