Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 244: Founded 1815 September, 1937 is the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the American Constitution. In the words of Burton Hendrick: The period covered by this century and a half is usually regarded as one of the most revolutionary in history. If we were asked what was its predominant characteristic, the reply would almost certainly be the tendency to change. The era stretching from the creation of the American Constitution in 1787 to its sesquicentennial in 1937 is the least static in history. Scarcely anything that the human race looks upon as sacred has escaped mutation. ... Since 1787 civilization has been a world of tumbled thrones, prostrated dynasties, overturned constitutions - of new empires, new republics, new and constantly varying conceptions of the state. Yet in this epoch of upheaval one political entity has remained intact. The Constitution of the United States of America is essentially the same instrument today that it was in 1787. There is no aspect of the American Constitution which is quite so deserving of commemoration and respect as its existence. From the day of its adoption to the moment at which this is written it has been attacked and reviled, but it is probably more strongly entrenched and more highly regarded in the minds of the majority of the American people today than ever before.
