U.S. Ambassador Brent T. Christensen joined Law Minister Mohammad Asaduzzaman, MP; Dhaka University Pro-Vice Chancellor Professor Abdus Salam; and constitutional experts, academics, and students at Dhaka University’s Senate Hall on September 17 to mark U.S. Constitution Day. In his speech, Ambassador Christensen highlighted how constant debate, the continuous search for consensus, and the American Constitution’s emphasis on the separation of powers, judicial independence, and the right to keep adding amendments has resulted in a resilient Constitution that has inspired democracies around the world for over 200 years, a press release said.
