It is observed on September 17, the day the Philadelphia Convention (AKA U.S. Constitutional Convention) signed the US Constitution in 1787.

Is the Constitution Libertarian? by: Irene Warren, September 24, 2008 In honor of the 221st Constitutional Day, guest speaker Randy Barnett gave the Annual B. Kenneth Simon Lecture at the Cato Institute in an effort to set the record straight about whether the Constitution is libertarian. Randy Barnett, a professor of legal theory at Georgetown University Law Center, explained that the Constitution is a governing document which governs those who are in power and who govern others. However, he explained that the Constitution also defines the limit of powers on those who govern us. “As it turns out, this is...

Just a reminder September 17 is Constitution Day. On this day in 1787, the Constitution was signed by the delegates

Each year on the 17th day of September we celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States in Philadelphia in 1787. In 2004, Congress officially made Sept. 17 "Constitution Day" and required all schools receiving federal funding to teach students about the Constitution. Every year since 2005, President Bush has declared Sept. 17 as "Constitution Day." And yet there is no mention of Constitution Day on my calendar this month, even though there are days marked for the Mexican Constitution on Feb. 5 and the beginning of Kwanzaa on Dec. 26. Perhaps the omission of...

Two-hundred and twenty years ago this week, the patriots who had stuck through the long process of drafting a Constitution for the new United States finally approved the document. The primary purpose of their creation was, in the language of their time, to "chain the dogs of war." The American colonies had suffered the cruel fates of wars plotted and pursued by the royal families of distant Europe, and they set about to ensure that the nation they had freed from the grip of British imperialism would not, itself, be subjected to the imperial whims of presidents who might someday...

Commemorating the 220th anniversary of the ratification of the Constitution of the United States in Philadelphia in 1787 Something remarkable was broadcast on TV recently. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, a Clinton appointee and one of the most liberal members of the court, was teaching a class about the Constitution. He was asked what his favorite Supreme Court case is. Justice Breyer replied that it was Cooper v. Faubus. He related how, while giving a Soviet paratroop officer a tour of the Supreme Court, this person asked that very same question. Breyer cited Cooper v. Faubus because it was the...

First, the Founding Fathers wrote a Constitution that strictly limited the role of the federal government in the lives of Americans. The idea that Washington had some role in education, redistribution of wealth, setting minimum wage requirements, nationalizing millions of acres of land, taxing income and subsidizing government-approved artists would have been anathema to the men who fought so valiantly for freedom against an overreaching foreign tyranny – if they could have even imagined such abuses. Secondly, the Framers of that Constitution spoke eloquently about the fact that only a moral people – a nation of Godly people with common...

James Madison, father of our U.S. Constitution, must be rolling over in his grave. You see, he forgot to put love in it. By congressional edict, schools and universities across the nation were recently required to spend some time on or around September 17 teaching about the Constitution. That's the date our nation's founding document was ratified back in 1787. Robert Byrd, West Virginia's Ku Klux Klan leader turned Senator, authored the legislation. Byrd's considered something of a constitutional scholar by his congressional colleagues. (Mobsters, no doubt, thought Al Capone an expert on criminal justice.) The law mandates any educational...

The anniversary of the U.S. Constitution was celebrated last week by the School of Liberal Arts & Sciences, the Department of Government & Sociology, and the Law and Society Student Organization (LASSO) with a series of week-long discussions and lectures about the document and its meaning.

"I do not claim to be an expert on the U.S. Constitution, but a student of its principles," Hemphill said. He...
