Jenkins On Your Desktop: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Books from Nolo Press

The U.S. Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787. Today, as a way to commemorate this occasion and the citizens united by its signing, September 17 is recognized as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day (36 U.C.S. 106).
