“Out of Many, One”

Remarks by Professor Steve Leben, Douglas R. Stripp Missouri Distinguished Professor of Law & Former Kansas Court of Appeals Judge

The Constitution boldly asserts “We the People, in Order to Form a More Perfect Union,” and on this Law Day, we explore and renew our obligations to one another under the Constitution and our democratic norms. The Constitution establishes a framework for government that provides limits and guardrails, including our representative government, jury service, and a regular Census. And through this commitment to unity, we all provide for the common good through government responses to national responses to crises and natural disasters, and through community and advocacy programs for students and adults.
