Whitworth Professor of Political Science Julia Stronks presents a Constitution Day Lecture, "LGBTQ Civil Rights and Religions Freedom: Bakers, Florists and Christian Universities."

About the lecture: The development of the rule of law and constitutional government-rule by representative lawmaking rather than executive decree or judicial edict-can be said to be the most significant and influential accomplishment of the long history of human liberty. The greatest political revolution in the United States since the establishment of the Constitution has been the shift of power away from the lawmaking institutions of republican government to an oligarchy of unelected experts. The future of the rule of law -- and self-government -- depends on the recovery of the Constitution. This lecture took place on September 16, 2016, and it was the annual Constitution Day Lecture at The Institute of World Politics. About the speaker: Matthew Spalding is Associate Vice President and Dean of Educational Programs for Hillsdale College in Washington, D.C.

Spalding also is executive editor of The Heritage Guide to the Constitution, a line-by-line analysis of each clause of the U.S. Constitution. His other books include A Sacred Union of Citizens: Washington's Farewell Address and the American Character; Patriot Sage: George Washington and the American Political Tradition; and The Founders' Almanac: A Practical Guide to the Notable Events, Greatest Leaders & Most Eloquent Words of the American Founding.
