Few American institutions have worked longer, harder, more effectively and more articulately than the Claremont Institute at recovering and reviving understanding of the principles of the American Founding – which are now under more concerted and intense attack than anytime in memory.

This Saturday, the Claremont Institute invites all to its annual Constitution Day Celebration at Chapman University, under the auspices of the Institute’s Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence – headed by Dr. John Eastman.  This commemoration of the 232nd anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution is being honored “with panel discussions addressing some of the most pressing threats to our constitutional system.”

The event takes place this Saturday, September 14 from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Kennedy Hall 237AB on the Chapman University campus – 1 University Drive in Orange.

Ticket price: $50 for the general public and $10 for students.
