On September 17, 2015, the American Founding Group, the School of Public and International Affairs, and the UGA Law School hosted a celebration of Constitution Day. The centerpiece of these festivities was a lecture by Dr. Jack Rakove, Pulitzer Prize-winning professor of history, political science, and law at Stanford University and a world-renowned expert of the U.S. Constitution, entitled “What Did the Constitution Originally Mean? Two Interpretations.” The lecture and moderated question and answer session was held at 2pm in the UGA Chapel, and was followed by a dessert reception in Candler Hall. In addition, there historical documents and materials related to the American founding and U.S. Constitution were on display at the Chapel from the Hargrett Rare Book & Manuscript Library.
