Some words from Andrew Guthrie Ferguson, assistant professor of law at the UDC David A. Clarke School of Law, on the US Constitution this Constitution Day: "The rule of law that structures almost every aspect of our lives – from criminal codes to capital punishment – finds its development and enforcement in the institutions created by the Constitution. The key, of course, is to re-imagine these ordinary parts of our lives as actually connected to our constitutional system." Ferguson also has five ideas on how to connect with the U.S. Constitution:
1. Read it.
2. Vote.
3. Find constitutional heroes in your local area.
4. Give credit to the constitution in your daily life.
5. Teach it.
