Paine College Constitution Day

Paine College’s Annual Constitution Day was held September 17, 2008 with the theme: “A Living Constitution for a Living Democracy” at Gilbert Lambuth Memorial Chapel. Constitution was addressed by Dr. Sudah Ratan, Chair of the Department of Political Science of Augusta State University. The service focused on how students should understand their constitutional rights and take advantage of their rights pertaining to constitutional by-laws. “How can you hold government accountable if you do not understand constitutional rights,” said Dr. Ratan.

May of 1787 fifty-five men met in Pennsylvania to revise and construct America’s first constitution, the Articles of Confederations. These men were patriots and most were committed to the idea that government must rest on the consent of the governed. They feared that ordinary people, if given ready access to power, would enact policies against the interest of privileged class, and thus the nation as a whole. It was this milieu that a group of men decided that a new document was needed for American government, and they wrote the Constitution of the United States of America which embodies theses principles of federalism, separation of powers, and a separate judiciary branch of government.

In examining the Constitution of the United States, which is the most perfect constitution that ever existed, one is startled at the variety of information and the amount of discernment that it presupposes in the whom it is meant to govern.

The government of the Union depends almost entirely upon legal fictions; the Union is an ideal nation, which exists, so to speak, only in the mind, and whose limits and extent can only be discerned by the understanding. “The whole structure of the government is artificial and conventional, and it would be ill adaptd to a people which has not been long accustomed to conduct its own affairs, or to one in which the science of politics has not descended to the humblest classes of society” Alexis DE Tocqueville stated in Democracy in America.

The program was constructed by current Student Government Association President Daviea Flowers. She stated “It’s important for students to understand constitutional rights because it unites America together by law, these are our rights.”

Voter Registration is very important, today was a very important day to get students registered to vote for this upcoming election. This election is very important we have Democratic Nominee Senator Barrack Obama and Republican Nominee John McCain as two from each party as candidates for President. We collaborated with Fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi to get students registered. We handed out information on how students can vote early and get registered.

Today was Constitution Day, I interviews Dr. Sudah Raten who was speaker of Constitution Day and also interviewed SGA President Daviea Flowrs for a feature article of Chapel for PC News Letter.
