What is Constitution Day?

Why is it important to me?
The constitution forms the basic structure for government, governs the power, and sets goals for the country. Amongst everything else, the constitution gives you the right to let your voice be heard. It is formed to make people get what they deserve and save us from any miss-treatment.
