2023: "A more perfect union"

Contemplate the Constitution: "A more perfect union"

"Contemplating the Constitution" invites the community to share their thoughts and reflections on an aspect of the US Constitution. This year, we invite you to consider one component of the preamble. The Constitution begins with the familiar phrase "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union..." What does "a more perfect Union" mean to you? Distill your thoughts and observations into six words.

OSU students who participate will have the opportunity to enter for a chance to win one of five $200 scholarships.

To help you reflect and generate ideas, check out this interactive constitution or learn more about how we change the Constitution

See 2023 responses.

OSU also honored Constitution Day with an exhibit featuring facts about the signing of the Constitution on digital signs throughout the Edmon Low Library. 

This year's Constitution Day activities were inspired by The Race Card Project. It was co-sponsored by the OSU Library, OSU Department of Political Science, the Political Science Club and Pi Sigma Alpha.
