Free Six-Week U.S. Constitution Course offered by Hillsdale College Starting September 15th

Register today for the Constitution Day Celebration and “Introduction to the Constitution” webcast series!

This six-week introductory course on the U.S. Constitution is really a six-day (make that evening, if you prefer) course delivered over a period of six weeks. Not to worry, you will not be inundated with information for hours on end each of those six days. People who, for the most part are not still in school somewhere, cannot be expected to absorb too much. That is the reason this is called an “Introduction to the Constitution.” The first night will primarily be devoted to remarks by Charles Krauthammer and Congressman Paul Ryan; both of whom know something about the U.S. Constitution. The five following lectures will be delivered by Dr. Larry Arnn, and I can promise you that you will not be bored by his lectures. He is a well-known (in conservative circles, as least), excellent lecturer who knows his subject as well as anyone you will ever hear or meet.

Now, click one of these hillsdale.edu links and give yourself six interesting and worthwhile evening lectures by some easy-on-the-ears-and-posterior speakers.

Constitution.hillsdale.edu

On September 15, in observance and celebration of Constitution Day, Hillsdale College will hold our second annual Constitution Day Celebration, this year featuring Congressman Paul Ryan, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer, members of the Hillsdale College faculty, and other distinguished guests.  Once you register for this event – it’s free – you’ll be able to watch all of these speeches and panels live from your home or office. Even if you are unable to watch on the day of the event, we will make all of the videos available to view in the weeks following.

Register for FREE now: constitution.hillsdale.edu

Then, for the next five weeks after our Constitution Day Celebration, we invite you back to this site for a special series of lectures, delivered by Hillsdale College President Dr. Larry Arnn, called the “Introduction to the Constitution.” Included in what we will discuss is:

* What the framers of the Constitution understood about the document they were writing, especially its fundamental principles true of human beings at all times and in all places;
* Why the fundamental features of the American Constitution are representation and separation of powers;
* Why the key to a republican form of government is the vibrancy, size and independence of this private society.
This program will serve as the basis for future educational programs on Constitution and related topics, including a more complete Online Constitution Class, of which this series will serve as a basis. We will be asking for your participation and feedback along the way to help us improve our efforts.

Register for “Introduction to the Constitution”

Please share this information with others – your friends, family, and colleagues who, like you, understand the vital need for restoring an understanding and love of the Constitution in our great nation.

I have looked at the listings for the Constitution class and have found no way to get in online to the class. Please tell me how to log on and not again to look for instructions on your web sites.
Thank you,

For some unknown reason, I am not able to log on to your course. I registered some week or two ago and have failed every time I tried. The message says there is nothing wrong with my computer but nothing seems to work.

Nancy,

Sorry for all the trouble. There were many problems to overcome this first time around. I believe you will find you can watch the videos anytime you want now in the next few days.

Just go to http://constitution.hillsdale.edu/

I just heard of this webinar today. I clicked on the video link to watch but it keeps starting and stopping to reload. Is there a better option for those of us without broadband? Broadband is not offered where I live.

Rich Ruby,

I believe this course will be offered as a set of CDs later. Sorry, I don’t have another answer for you..

Dolores,

What seems to be the problem? If you go to constitution.hillsdale.edu, you should be able to click one of the three (blue) links shown there and see a session. Please explain any problems that arise.

I was unable to see Dr. Krauthammer’s presentation on the evening of 7/15 and have been unable to find an archived video of it. Is there such a thing and if so where do I find it?
Thanking you in advance for your reply (hopefully positive)

Georgia,

I am sorry you have had trouble finding the archived shows. Assuming you have in fact registered–if you haven’t, you may register now–go to http://constitution.hillsdale.edu and sign in. The “sign in” is at the top-right hand side of the page. The sign in, in case you have forgotten, is your email address. Once you have signed in you will find the Dr Krauthammer link at the bottom-left hand side of the page. Other links you will want to use, will be interspersed down the left side of the page.

Each time you watch a segment to completion, you will be offered other Hillsdale videos. Among those will be the First Friday series.

Please do not hesitate to come back to me if you have any other problems or questions. I am so glad to learn of your interest.

Oh, and by the way, if you are using the Firefox Browser, there is a plugin that will download all the course segments. The plugin is “Video DownloadHelper” and it can be found at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=&cat=all .

Since you did not opt in to receive updates when you made your comment, I am putting this comment on my website and I am sending it to you by email.

Enjoy, and visit My Personal Introspections again in the future.

John,

I have no idea why you keep getting an error. To get CD’s for this Constitution course, call Hillsdale College direct. The phone number is (517) 437-7341.

To see why you may be getting an error each time you try to login, ask for technical support for the free Introduction to the Constitution online course. They will probably have you speak with Jim Bowen, Helpdesk Supervisor, Information Technology Services for Hillsdale College.

Be sure to identify your school affiliation. That may be of some benefit.

I hope that helps.

I would love to purchase a CD of the Introduction to the Constitution course. It sounds wonderful and might make wonderful Christmas gift for families.

Good point. I will check with Hillsdale College tomorrow. Something was said about CDs being offered at some point.

I recommend you call Hillsdale College at (517) 437-7341 tomorrow morning. The course was still available through today.

I feel that poviding these on-line course free gives our community fhe opportunity to take part in these classes when otherwise they would not be able too.
The more people educated on the isssues and the U.S. Constitution the better America there will be for us and future generations.

Kevin,

Hear, hear; you are so right.

This site is poorly put together. It doesn’t work. I have tried registering twice and cannot get to anything that explains how to access the class or why I cannot access it. Keep getting returned to the registration screen and asked for donation. I give up. Too bad, I would have liked to gotten the information, then maybe I would have donated someting.
