By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation For 234 years, Americas Constitution has guided our growth, shaped our progress, and defined us as a Nation of sacred laws and fundamental values.
When our democracy is tested, we draw strength from the Constitution to see us through. When we look ahead in our uniquely American way restless, bold, and optimisticour Constitution is the bedrock we build upon to make our Nation more equal, more just, and more prosperous for all our people.
American democracy requires our constant care, vigilance, and full participation to determine the course and conscience of our Union. As President, I swore an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, and I will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that we uphold and strengthen this remarkable system of self-government for future generations ready to put their own shoulders to the wheel.
The Framers of the Constitution understood the extraordinary promise of a democratic system of governmenta Nation that could be made a more perfect Union by each passing generation to come. They laid out a set of basic principles and equipped the American people with all that was necessary to meet the changing needs and values of our country through the years.

For more than two centuries, women and men have struggled and strived to make good on the promise of our founding document and to expand the promise of America by amending our Constitution in accordance with our growth and progress as a Nationjust as the Framers envisioned they would. Through Civil War, the fight for universal suffrage, and the heroic non-violent resistance of the Civil Rights Movementfrom Seneca Falls to Selma and countless acts of civic bravery beyondcourageous Americans have fought, sacrificed, and changed hearts and minds to deliver the full breadth of human dignity to which our Constitution aspires. Fully realizing these ideals and attaining justice for all remains an urgent and enduring imperative.
Today, we are in the midst of grave attempts to suppress and subvert the right to vote in free and fair electionsthe most sacred right in our democracy and the very heart of our Constitution. We must continue to rebuff these threats to ensure that American democracy remains healthy and strong. My Administration is pursuing an all-of-government effort to protect and expand the fundamental right to vote and make our democracy more equitable and accessible for all Americans.
I have often said that America is the only Nation founded on an idea.
Though we have never fully lived up to it, we have never walked away from it. We have never stopped striving to fulfill the founding promise of our Nationthat all of us are created equal and deserve to be treated equally throughout our lives. My Administration is committed to bringing us closer to the fulfillment of that promise.
