Join the Paul Revere Chapter at our opening September meeting! We'll be conducting our "back from the summer break" business meeting to to keep the momentum of our 125th year going. Our program, celebrating the spirit of the upcoming Constitution Week, will feature the nuances of how America got its Constitution as told by Boston University professor and Alexander Hamilton expert, Thomas Oller. We'll conclude the evening by watching the U.S.S. Constitution sunset flag-lowering ceremony from the pier.
Once the US declared independence from Great Britain in 1776, it needed a government of its own. The Continental Congress wrote the Articles of Confederation in 1777. However, as General Washington found out during the Revolutionary War, the confederation was weak and divided. It was painfully difficult to get states to contribute their fair share of troops and resources. The Constitutional Convention of 1787 in Philadelphia started out as an attempt to revise the Articles, but ended up replacing them with the Constitution that we have today. Our program will explore how the Constitution was created; what its main provisions are; how it has been amended over the years; and what impact it has on our lives today.
Dr. Thomas Oller is a Senior Lecturer in the Writing Program at Boston University, where he teaches a course on Founding Fathers Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson and their competing visions of America. He is also Vice Chair of the Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society, a non-profit organization that seeks to educate the public about Hamilton.
