🗳️ Can one comma change the Constitution?

On Election Day, we're reminded of the importance of the document that helped shape American democracy. But interpreting its 200-year-old language isn't always straightforward.

Duke Law professor Joseph Blocher studies how historical documents can shed light on the meaning of the Second Amendment—and why even punctuation matters.

📜 The Constitution is currently on display as part of We the People at Duke's Nasher Museum of Art.

This morning, members of the Duke community gathered at Duke's 9/11 Memorial plaque to honor those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, including six Duke alumni.

On the first anniversary of the attacks, six trees were planted behind Keohane Quad in memory of the alumni lost. The trees, saplings at the time, and are now beautiful and fully grown as we mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11. A wreath is laid at the Duke memorial each year to honor their lives.

We remember:
A. Todd Rancke '81
Michael Morgan Taylor '81
John Robinson "Rob" Lenoir '84
Peter Keith Ortale '87
Christopher Todd Pitman '93
Frederick Charles Rimmele III M.D. '94
