Make the Journey Towards Citizenship with the Citizenship & Patriotic Publications

Citizenship & Patriotic Publications

Give the gift of citizenship or simply celebrate your patriotism with these stirring publications for current proud American citizens... and those who are aspiring to be.

Each September 17, America celebrates Constitution Day and Citizenship Day to commemorate the day the Constitution was adopted in 1787. The year 2012 is particularly significant, as it marks the Constitution's 225th Anniversary.

Congress and the U.S. Department of Education now require that any educational institution that receives Federal funds must hold an educational program on the United States Constitution for the students it serves.

What better way is there to read and teach about the Constitution than by using the official Congressionally-authorized U.S. Government edition of the Constitution of the United States that is combined with the Declaration of Independence in a convenient pocket size?

In addition to this Government classic, the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) sells other official publications about the Constitution, patriotic symbols and anthems and our American Government, as well as civics education products for social studies classes and special naturalization publications for new immigrants.
