Montpelier and the National Archives Host State of the Constitution Lecture
On September 17, the Robert H. Smith Center for the Constitution at James Madison?s Montpelier will host a celebration of the 226th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution in collaboration with the National Archives in Washington. The event will poll the expected 300 audience members in a candid conversation about American constitutional rights with responses by a sitting senator and a Constitution scholar.

There is simply no better way to recognize Constitution Day than an interactive event at the very place our Constitution is displayed, the Archives,? said Douglas Smith, Vice President for the Robert H. Smith Center for the Constitution at James Madison?s Montpelier. ?We expect an unscripted and highly spirited conversation that will remind us all how our many opinions are able to unite us into one nation.?
