As Constitution Day approaches on September 17, CSN is marking the occasion with a video lecture series presented by the Department of Social Sciences. This initiative aims to deepen the community’s understanding of the U.S. Constitution, a document that continues to shape our nation’s laws and values. This year, three new videos have been produced:

• Dr. Michael Hart discusses Culley v. Marshall (2024) and the Due Process Clause.
• Dr. Francis Carleton provides an analysis of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in U.S. v. Rahimi (2024) and the 2nd Amendment.
• Dr. Kenneth Fernandez explores the story behind the Supreme Court’s power of judicial review Marbury v. Madison (1803).

Each lecture offers viewers a chance to explore the Constitution’s relevance in today’s world.

Constitution Day, observed annually on September 17, commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787.

The lectures will be available online, allowing participants to view them at their convenience. For more details on the video series and additional resources about the U.S. Constitution, visit Constitution Day Info.
