Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The March of the Constitution, Annual Address Before the American Bar Association, at Saratoga, August, 1900 For something more than a hundred years the people of the United States have enjoyed - or have had the right to enjoy - the protection of a written constitution. Its sanctions and its guaranties have been with them and over them so long that they often seem to be only natural and every-day rights, immemorially existing. But the Federal Constitution was a great creative work. It established a union of states and breathed into it the powers and attributes of nationality. It was a new departure; for until then, though there had been various leagues and federations united by written covenants, and some small local constitutions, there had been no attempt, anywhere in the world, to make a written constitution on a large scale; one that should be the supreme organic law for a great nation. What is a constitution? The question is more difficult than it seems. In a general way, however, it may be said that it is the system or body of fundamental principles, written or unwritten, under which a nation, state or body politic is formed or governed. Unwritten constitutions, like the British - that ancient fabric which our fathers knew and revered are evolutionary, growing from year to year, from reign to reign, and from century to century.
