Among all the other holidays, where is the one for the U.S. Constitution? Shouldn't we celebrate it as much as we do with the 4th of July each year? We are the only country right now that has had a constitution that was written so many years ago that is still in practice today and is so fundamentally important to our nation every day. It is not as if we have had many different constitutions in our nation's history, like the French have had, and because of this, our nation and government should be celebrated together as one, because there has never been that element of separation. But we do not celebrate it like this, and although we appreciate the Constitution, we don't tend to look at it as "something special" everyday. Some colleges or universities have celebration days for it, but most people pass up the opportunity to recognize Constitution Day.
