The original U.S. Constitution was signed on Sept. 17, 1787, in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Of the 55 state delegates that participated in the convention to form a new government based on the principles of self-government and the rule of law, 32 were lawyers, and James Otis Jr. was arguably one of the most influential lawyers in early American history. He challenged oppressive laws permitting warrantless searches of homes and businesses. According to John Adams, Otis\u2019 argument challenging British laws was the basis of the American Revolution.<\/p>\n<p>The high school students in attendance were recognized as James Otis Scholars. The American Constitution Society and the Federalist Society, Stetson student organizations, helped sponsor the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly 100 Tampa Bay area high school students celebrated U.S. Constitution Day at Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport on Sept. 20.
