Without that vision to restrain each succeeding generation of Americans from the tempting excesses of political power, the American Commonwealth, with its great heterogeneous democracy, would probably perish.
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.
Of this spirit one of the noblest expressions is the Constitution of the United States.
