UW-La Crosse will celebrate Constitution Day with a lecture about the politics of the Constitution at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 17, in the Hall of Nations, Centennial Hall.
Constitution Day/Citizenship Day commemorates the Sept. 17, 1787, signing of the U.S. Constitution.
UW-L Assistant Professor of Political Science Steve McDougal plans to discuss what the framers thought they were doing when they established the Constitution, focusing on the political processes and structures in Constitutional government.
“The Constitution structures the politics of national government more than anything else,” says McDougal. “For citizens to know what the Constitution contains and how it tries to get government to work is absolutely critical if citizens are going to have realistic expectations of government.”
Congress has mandated that every educational institution receiving federal funds take a day to teach about the U.S. Constitution.
