Constitution Day

Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, celebrated on September 17, commemorates the 1787 signing of the Constitution and recognizes all who have become U.S. citizens.

The Health Sciences Library honors this day by offering pocket size copies of The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. 

Stop in during the month of September for your copy, or request a copy by emailing library@upstate.edu.

“The Constitution of the United States of America is the supreme law of the United States. Empowered with the sovereign authority of the people by the framers and the consent of the legislatures of the states, it is the source of all government powers, and also provides important limitations on the government that protect the fundamental rights of United States citizens”.
