President tsen thank you and welcome to all who are attending this meeting on Web Ex or on the phone but as we open our Meeting Today i want to acknowledge that this is the asian american pacific Islander Heritage Month which recognizes contributions of asian americans and arts, culture, law, Health And Science in america. And while we celebrate the contributions of asian americans to america we must note the rising wave of antiasian Harassment And Violence that has happened during this pandemic fueled by the rhetoric of Heat And Ridicule that has come from the past president. Asian americans have long endured a history of racism despite their many contributions to american society and we become convenient scapegoats during hard times as hashappened during this pandemic.

About some of the great debates that occurred during that ratification process. First, let me set some historical context. In 1776 Youll Recall we had our declaration of independence. But dont mix that document up with the constitution. Theyre two very different things and both important. But today were focused on the constitution. These two documents were sup rated by 11 years, from 1776 to 1787 we had no real constitution. We had a treaty between 13 independent nations that we called the articles of confederation. The articles of confederation didnt work too well and people like Madison And Washington and George Mason decided to come together in the summer of 1787 in Philadelphia And Debate what form of government our new nation should have. This is a big question. Alexander hamilton suggested that it was perhaps the first time in history that such a decision had been entrusted to people rather than to monarchs or other strongmen. The constitutional convention was completely secret.
