Can the Constitution do more to combat government corruption?
Join Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law Professor Kim Breedon for a thought-provoking look at the U.S. Constitution and its role in combating public corruption during ONU’s annual Constitution Day Lecture.
On Thursday, September 17, 2026 from 11 a.m. – Noon in Tilton Hall, Room 129, Professor Breedon will explore some of the Constitution’s limitations in addressing public corruption and consider whether “constitutional legislation”—an approach adopted in some states and foreign jurisdictions—could provide more effective mechanisms for addressing corruption than the framework established by the Constitution.
This timely discussion offers an opportunity to consider how the structure of constitutional law shapes our ability to confront one of the most persistent challenges facing government today.
