About Constitution Day

As part of a daylong event in Philadelphia, the U.S. Census Bureau will commemorate its constitutional role of counting every person living in the U.S. The framers of the Constitution of the United States made population, not wealth or land, the basis for political power. For this reason, they included in the Constitution a mandatory count of the population every 10 years—the decennial census.
