Program
Come join us for an enlightening evening featuring a presentation by BSU Political Science Professor Dr. Darren Wheeler who will delve into The Constitution in Black & White.
Interpreting the Constitution should be easy, right? It’s all written down in plain black and white. All we have to do is follow it. Well, yes—and no. It’s not always simple to use a document that has been around for over 200 years to address many of today’s issues. Join Dr. Wheeler in a discussion of the challenges that judges face when interpreting the Constitution in the judicial decision-making process.
The United States Constitution is America’s most important document. It stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history to maintain our liberties, freedoms and inalienable rights.
This program is being offered to commemorate the Constitution’s historical importance and to encourage the study of the events that led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787, and to emphasize U.S. citizens’ responsibility to protect, defend and preserve the Constitution.
Invited guests & participants include: SAR Honor Guard, DAR Chapters and members, SAR members, students, local history and civic groups, and interested community members.
The Daughters of the American Revolution is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization. DAR members are dedicated to promoting historic preservation, education, and patriotism in communities across the nation. DAR is the foremost advocate for the awareness, promotion and celebration of Constitution Week (September 17-23). By fostering knowledge of, and appreciation for the Constitution and the inalienable rights it affords to all Americans, DAR helps to keep alive the memory of the men and women who secured our nation’s foundational liberties.
