“90 in 90 Study Program” (90 Essays Written over 90 Days) These are important for today and treasures for the future.  Signed by the founder of Constituting America, Janine Turner and the Co-Chair, Cathy Gillespie! 

In 2010, Constituting America launched the “90 in 90 Initiative,” an online forum that engages Americans to join with others around the nation in reading and discussing America’s founding documents over a 90 day period. Students may explore original documents as well as 530 essays by 85 constitutional Scholars. “Our ‘90 in 90 Study Program’ is a scholastic examination with essays on the founding documents of our country written by brilliant professors and constitutional scholars from some of the best colleges, universities and law schools in the country.” 

“After reading the eighty-five opinion editorials in The Federalist, written by “Publius,” (the pseudonym used by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay,) Janine Turner and Cathy Gillespie, in 90 days, wrote eighty-five corresponding essays to promote Constituting America. Janine wrote, “I was on fire to share the astounding relevance of their words and wisdom. I was, and am, simply amazed by their genius.”

In minute detail these essays explain each opinion editorial in The Federalist, every clause and section of the Constitution and the classic works by Aristotle, Cicero and others that shaped our U.S. Constitution.

We have been told by teachers, professors and students that these studies are invaluable, especially for the thoroughness with which the 85 Federalist Papers are examined and explained. These studies are appropriate for high school, undergraduate and graduate level research and studies.

In the Study Participants’ words:

“I was so excited to hear about this educational 90 day project. I’ve

been with you since the first one with the Federalist Papers and I have

learned SO much! Thank you, Thank you, for this wonderful project

and opportunity to learn even more about the history of our

great Nation. I tell everyone I know about this site. Blessing to you

both, Janine and Cathy for this. I can’t wait to come here every

day to learn more,” Barb

“Janine & Cathy, thanks for continuing this important educational

program. I’m looking forward to deepening my understanding of our

history and, hopefully, being able to pass on what I learn to others.”

“At the end of another chapter in your valuable work. Those of us who

have followed Constituting America from the beginning hope that you

will continue to provide instructional material for those of us who were

not properly instructed in school. Personally, I hope that you can

develop a method of improving the classroom material available

to teacher[s] in our school system. May God Bless you,” Jim.
