It is observed on Sept. 17, the day the U.S. Constitutional  Convention signed the Constitution in 1787. The law establishing the  holiday was created in 2004 with the passage of an amendment by Senator  Robert Byrd. The law mandates that all publicly funded educational  institutions provide educational programming on the history of the  American Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>Professors Allan Joseph and Robert  Whitaker, both of the Humanities, Philosophy and Social Sciences  Department, will present a history of the Constitution, and the  amendments that were installed as the American landscape changed. The  discussion will also demonstrate how the document protects the rights of  the American citizen. Opportunities for debate and questions from the  audience will also be given. Please plan on attending this very  important program that celebrates American life.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Constitution booklets that share facts about the Constitution will be distributed along with voter registration forms. This event is co-sponsored by the Student Senate and the Department of Humanities, Philosophy and Social Sciences.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please contact the Student Activities Office,\u00a0 ext. 7348.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Thu, 15 Sep 2011 10:57:16 +0000 by\u00a0l.coplin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The campus community is invited to attend the college&#8217;s annual Constitution Day Celebration today, Sept. 15, from 10\u00a0 to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-campus-announcements"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
