Constitution Day with Author and Legal Scholar Kimberly Wehle
The college observed Constitution Day with a book discussion and lecture by legal scholar Kimberly Wehle. Wehle's latest book, "How to Read the Constitution—and Why," is a guide to constitutional basics, combining a plain-language reading of the Constitution with an introduction to policy rationales and theory. Her discussion in Oberlin touched on why the Constitution matters, and what citizens can do about problems in government.
Constitution Day commemorates the ratification of the U.S. Constitution by the nation’s founders on September 17, 1787.
