Was this from 1989, the Constitution’s Bicentennial? I dimly remember these PSAs.
This one isn’t brilliant — n.b., the Constitution can be amended — but it is Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
I just stumbled into it on YouTube. Is there a good collection somewhere? Are the others better?

Looks like the Bicentennial of the Constitution version of the “Bicentennial Minutes” that ran on, I think, all networks [all three that is] during 1976, the American Revolution bicentennial year. I remember them quite well. Movie stars, sports figures, elected officials and cartoon characters [Bugs included] did one minute standups [so to speak] on what had happened in the US on that day one hundred years earlier. I think they all ended with the same line: “I’m [Charlton Heston/Bugs Bunny/Whoever], and that’s the way it was, one hundred years ago today.”
Didn’t recall a similar series during the bicentennial of the Constitution but, having seen this PSA, there may have been one.
