The Vital Expedition
Being a better Citizen. The Vital Expedition focuses to do what John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in the 1790’s, suggested that we all do as citizens and that was to study our constitution and laws continually. It is our desire to do just that; present information to anyone interested. Discourse is a lost commodity today. There is so much to learn from our founders and from those they studied that we would do well to know a fraction of what they knew.Among studying our Constitution and our laws, we need to do our part in learning what we can do at the lowest level in society. Even if we don't think we play a big part in society, we play a big part in being a parent, teacher, coach, and just overall as a person. The little things matter, what are those little things that add up in society where we are contributing to our citizenship? What are some things you never thought of that played a big part? These are things we need to consider and put careful thought into as we live.
