The Hillsdale College Constitution Day Celebration Webcast, is a two-day program that commemorates the September 17, 1787, signing of the Constitution, and celebrates the enduring principles of that document.
We welcome your participation in this exciting event. Your constitutional questions are important to us, and during the event we encourage you to submit questions to the panelists, debaters, and speakers via an email address that will be provided on this Web site's log-on page.
In preparation for the Constitution Day Celebration, we invite you to visit the online Hillsdale College Constitution Reader at www.thekirbycenter.org, a collection of 100 primary source documents relating to the American Founding, the Civil War, Progressivism, and modern American government This is the same reader used in Hillsdale's undergraduate core course on the Constitution.
With the teaching of Hillsdale College students its primary purpose, the Hillsdale College Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship is dedicated to the goal of re-establishing the fundamental conditions of freedom: true civic education in our schools and universities: a pride in self-government within society; and an understanding among our elected leaders of enduring constitutional principles. Through teaching the principles and practice of American constitutionalism, the Kirby Center seeks to inspire all Americans to act worthy of the blessings of liberty.
"We are providing a constitution for future generations, and not merely for the peculiar circumstances of the moment," James Wilson, Founding Father and noted legal scholar, remarked at the Constitutional Convention in July 1787.
We look forward to reflecting together on this vital topic September 16 and 17.
