Now, therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate December 15th as Bill of Rights Day. I call upon the officials in charge of all government buildings to display our flag in celebration. I call upon the people in America to gather in their houses of worship or in their homes to pray or to simply to reflect on what this day means for our country. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) celebrates the Bill of Rights during the national celebration of its 225th anniversary, which is held annually on December 15. The celebration commemorates the ratification of the 10 amendments to the Constitution that spell out our rights as Americans. The Bill of Rights is an amendment to the constitution. It reserves all powers not delegated to the federal government to the people or the states. The original joint resolution proposing the Bill of Rights is on permanent display at the National Archives in Washington, DC.  

The Bill of Rights Day is observed on December 15th.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, designated December 15, 1941, as Bill of Rights Day.
