Join us at the Davies Library on Wednesday, September 6th at 6:30 for a discussion on The Constitution of the United States!
In 1786, George Washington said: "I do not conceive that we can exist long as a nation without... a power which will pervade the whole union." Three years later, the US Constitution was signed, defining both our federal government and the rights and responsibilities of state government.
What is the history behind this document? How and why has it changed in the past 2 centuries? And what does it mean to our country today? Join us at the Davies as Dr. Alan Berlozheimer leads a discussion on the US Constitution. Documents are available to borrow at the Davies or visit constitutionus.com. All are welcome!
