Washington post organized a quiz competition about USA constitution. #constitution day
occurs every year on Sept. 17 and
which could be called the U.S. government’s birthday.
Constitution Day was created by Congress in 2004 to require that
all schools which receive federal funding offer some type of “educational
program” on the U.S. Constitution, but it doesn’t define what that should
be. Sept. 17 was chosen because it was the last session of the 1787
Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, during which the final version
of the newly written U.S. Constitution was signed by 39 delegates. Benjamin
Franklin, the oldest signer of our Constitution at age 81, said — and warned —
upon leaving Independence Hall and being asked what form of government the
Constitutional Convention had established: "A republic, if you can keep
it."
