James Beck: “I do so, because it has a direct bearing on the decay of the spirit of constitutionalism both in America and elsewhere.”

The tendency of group morality to standardize man--and thus reduce all men to the dead level of an average mediocrity--is one that the law should combat.

If it ceases to be of the spirit of the people, then the yellow parchment whereon it is inscribed can avail nothing.

Of this spirit one of the noblest expressions is the Constitution of the United States.

That vision still remains as an ideal with the American people and still leads them to ever-higher achievements, for in all the mad changes of a frenzied hour, they have not yet lost faith in or love for the Constitution of the Fathers!
