The Constitutional Walking Tour Offers Educational Resources to Commemorate...

The Constitutional Walking Tour of Philadelphia today announced its 2007 Constitution Day Resources to help celebrate Constitution Day. September 17th is designated as Constitution Day because on that date in 1787, the delegates of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia signed the United States Constitution at Independence Hall. The Constitutional Walking Tour is celebrating Constitution Day throughout the month of September, and teachers are encouraged to utilize The Constitutional's many free educational resources available at: www.TheConstitutional.com/schools .

Background on Constitution Day

In late 2004, Senator Robert Byrd, one of the United States Senate's leading Constitutional scholars, introduced legislation that President George W. Bush signed into law on December 8, 2004 requiring that all schools, colleges and Federal agencies receiving Federal funds offer annual educational programming involving the Constitution of the United States on or around Constitution Day, September 17th.

"Walking in the Founding Fathers' footsteps with The Constitutional Walking Tour of Philadelphia is a great way to commemorate Constitution Day. Along the tour, visitors see many important sites related to the U.S. Constitution including The First Bank of the United States which sparked the first great Constitutional debate between strict and loose constructionalists," stated Jonathan Bari, Chairman of The Constitutional Walking Tour. "Whether you want to visit Historic Philadelphia in person, or take a "virtual field trip," we can assist in integrating The Constitutional's educational programming into your Constitution Day curriculum."
