I only mention the subject to suggest that the reader of these lectures will better understand why the American people take the written obligations of the League so seriously and literally.
I do so, because it has a direct bearing on the decay of the spirit of constitutionalism both in America and elsewhere.
Pennsylvania and New York, with nearly one-sixth of the entire population of the United States, have only four votes in ninety-six votes in the Senate.
I believe America's fate is only deferred by physical causes.
