Kosrae Constitution Day is observed in the state of Kosrae, part of the Federated States of Micronesia, every January 11. This holiday commemorates the adoption of the Constitution of Kosrae, which came into effect on January 11, 1984. The constitution outlines various aspects of governance, including the supremacy of the constitution, the roles of the legislature, executive, and judiciary, and provisions for suffrage and municipal government. It has been amended four times since its adoption, addressing issues such as marriage definition and environmental regulations. On Constitution Day, government agencies, banks, and schools in Kosrae are closed, allowing residents to reflect on their constitutional rights and governance. The day serves as a reminder of the island's historical journey from Spanish claim in the 16th century to its current status as a state within the Federated States of Micronesia.
