The
U.S. Census Bureau reports that the U.S. population will reach
314,395,013 at noon today, which is the 225th anniversary of the signing
of the Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787, in Philadelphia.
Sept. 17 is recognized
as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day to commemorate the creation and
signing of the supreme law of the land and to honor and celebrate the
privileges and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship for both native-born
and naturalized citizens. Federal law requires that all schools
receiving federal funds hold an educational program for their students
on Sept. 17 of each year.
