World Constitution Day aims to raise awareness of the contribution that constitutions make to our society and to celebrate the diverse range of people that conceive, write, ratify, publish and amend constitutional charters worldwide. The day is held on the 1st of August each year, an ideal summer day conducive to gathering, and also in recognition of the anniversary of the creation of the Swiss Federal Charter, the Bundesbrief in 1291AD, kicking off one of the worlds longest running democracies.
