A citizen's Guide to the Constitution at Westfield Memorial Library
Catherine Brown, Esq. explains the Constitution, the blueprint for self representative self governance. Every attendee receives a copy.
On Monday, September 19 at 7:00 p.m., Presenter Catherine M. Brown, Esq. will explore the idea, liberty, upon which the Constitution is based, the form of governance liberty requires, and the functionality and durability of the Constitution’s design. She will also discuss how the operating principles of self-governance manifest themselves today.
The United States of America was established by the consent of its citizens when they, through their States, ratified its foundational document, the Constitution. The Constitution is a blueprint for representative self-governance designed to make the experience of human liberty a reality for all.
The primary responsibility of every citizen is to make sure their representatives govern in accordance with the Constitution and to hold them to account when they don’t. But citizens cannot be effective unless they understand the blueprint. All attendees will receive a copy of the Constitution.
