Join the Bill of Rights Institute for our annual Constitution Day Live event on Friday, Sept. 15! Each year, BRI staff hold a live, real-time discussion on
our YouTube channel with teachers and others on constitutionally-inspired themes and principles.
The theme for this year's event is Reflection, choice, and Self-Government. Together, we will explore the value of engaging with multiple viewpoints, the nature of good reflection, the importance of choice in a democracy, the role students and citizens play in our communities, as well as how we, as a nation, direct the future of our country through our constitutional system. Visit our Constitution Day Live page for more information!
