House Joint Resolution 7007, sponsored by Representative Johnson C, commemorates Constitution Day, which is observed annually on September 17. This day marks the signing of the United States Constitution in 1787 by thirty-nine delegates at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. The resolution highlights the Constitution's significance as a foundational document that has guided the nation for over 200 years and recognizes the contributions of those who have become citizens, either by birth or naturalization. It also acknowledges the efforts of the Daughters of the American Revolution, who initiated the celebration of Constitution Day, and the 917 Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating young people about their constitutional rights.

The resolution calls for the citizens of Tennessee and the United States to celebrate Constitution Day on September 17, 2023, and commends the initiatives aimed at educating the youth about the Constitution's importance. It emphasizes the responsibility of citizens to protect and defend the Constitution and encourages the study of the historical events that led to its creation. By providing eighth graders with pocket Constitutions, the 917 Society aims to inspire a deeper understanding and appreciation of the document's role in American life.
