Also known as Citizenship Day, September 17 commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution on that date in 1787. In this workshop, we&#8217;ll examine the Constitution\u2019s creation, trace its major changes, and explore its current limitations. In doing so, we will also dispel some myths. Topics include the current status of democracy, the history of the Constitution, and current issues of representation. This is a timely and thought-provoking workshop that helps us evaluate the U.S. Constitution\u2019s meaning more critically.<\/p>\n<p>Donna L.
