U.S. Office of Personnel Management www.opm.gov - Recruiting, Retaining and Honoring a World-Class Workforce to Serve the American People

Constitution Initiative

The purpose of this website is to provide Federal Executive Branch agencies and departments resources to support training of their employees on the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management wishes to acknowledge the active participation of the National Archives and Records Administration in the creation of this website.

Section 111 of Title I, Division J, of the Fiscal Year 2005 Consolidated Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 108-447), enacted into law on December 8, 2004 requires the head of each Federal agency or department each year to:

1. provide each new employee of the agency or department with educational and training materials concerning the United States Constitution as part of the orientation materials provided to the new employee; and
2. provide educational and training materials concerning the United States Constitution to each employee of the agency or department each year.

OPM has provided educational training materials on this site to help Federal departments and agencies meet this requirement. We hope these materials will help provide your agencies with useful training tools.

Visit the Archives website to learn more about the month-long celebrations of the Constitution.
