Constituting America: Informing Americans About the Importance of the Constitution
In honor of Constitution Day this September 17, 2011, Constituting America will begin a 90-day analysis of the U.S. constitution with scholars and citizens throughout the country.
The nonprofit’s community of scholars will be available for media interviews, analysis and commentary in an effort to “spark a national discussion surrounding the importance of the Constitution in contemporary civic life,” says founder Janine Turner.
“The mission of Constituting American is to engage America’s adults and students in learning about the Constitution and America’s founding principles,” says Turner. It’s doing so by hosting a contest called “We The People 9.17 Contest,” a road trip across the U.S., and a series of blogs that discuss the constitution from varying points of view.
