Of this spirit one of the noblest expressions is the Constitution of the United States.
Its protection should be given to those of superior skill and diligence, who ask the due rewards of such superiority.
If it ceases to be of the spirit of the people, then the yellow parchment whereon it is inscribed can avail nothing.
Under the American Constitution, they are part of the fundamental law, and, as such, enforceable by judges sworn to defend the integrity of the individual as fully as the integrity of the State.
