The mission of Hillsdale College, as set forth in its original Articles of Association, is to provide "sound learning" of the sort needed to perpetuate the blessings of "civil and religious liberty and intelligent piety." In keeping with this mission, Hillsdale is one of very few colleges and universities outside our service academies where all students, regardless of major, take a course on the U.S. Constitution as part of their core requirements. This course begins with a detailed examination of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, continues with other primary source documents of the founding era, and then covers the great challenge to constitutionalism in the secession crisis of the 1850s, which culminated in the Civil War, as well as the departures from constitutional principles and practices during the Progressive Movement and by that movement's modern heirs.
