Bill > HR47

This resolution, passed by the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, officially recognizes the week of September 17 to 23, 2026, as Constitution Week. This designation aims to celebrate the Constitution of the United States, which is described as the foundation of the nation's freedoms and the embodiment of principles established by its framers in 1787, including the rule of law and individual liberty, as further protected by the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution. The resolution also acknowledges the historical significance of September 17th as the anniversary of the Constitution's signing and notes that the tradition of observing Constitution Week began in 1955 with a petition from the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), a patriotic organization. The Kentucky House of Representatives expresses appreciation to a specific DAR chapter for their dedication to celebrating American history and hosting these commemorative events.
