Dr. Sophia Wilson to Speak at Constitution Day Program, Sept. 18 |
|
| |
SIUE, as the recipient of federal funds, is required to hold a Constitution Day program each year.
The Department of Political Science invites you to a talk by Dr. Sophia Wilson:
12-1 p.m.
Monday, Sept. 18
Dean’s Conference Room, Peck Hall Room 3117
Feel free to bring your lunch.
Dr. Wilson will speak about the courts. After World War II,a number of European democracies instituted Constitutional Courts. The numerous atrocities committed during the war convinced many Europeans that a democratically elected leadership should be held accountable to constitutional guarantees. While the U.S. served as an example of a country where judicial review powers were widely practiced, our country faced considerable challenges in promoting constitutional order.
