Excerpt from A Constitution for the United States of the World Let diplomats brood over the proposed articles of union. Let them weigh a feather against a cobweb, split a hair into tenths, quarrel with commas, put capitals to the sword, give a crutch to every halting word. While this goes on, the great world will think, and grow brotherly in thinking about the same thing. Let the press - true voice of national vanity - spend itself in loud attack, coy retreat, fair compromise or frank acceptance. While each people is thus nursing the wound to its own vanity, it hears groans in the neighboring ward - and the two invalids are quickly convalescent. Let the senate chambers ring with argument, with denuncia tion, with prophecy. Each shall hear the echoes from the other, and in the end only one effective word will rise above the hubbub - the fair word, compromise.

Excerpt from The Constitution of the United States, Vol. 1 of 2: Its History, Application and Construction The Constitution of the United States is one of the great written instruments of the world. Its adoption marked the most advanced progress along the line of representative government which had occurred in history, and its influence has surpassed that of any similar document. Concerning the formation of the Constitution there was long a prevalent misconception. It was not wholly an orig inal creation of those who framed-it. The Colonial State papers, 'the Resolves of Congress, the Articles of Confedera tion and the State Constitutions contained many excellent provisions which were inserted in the greater instrument, while precedents for other provisions were found in the British Constitution. In the manner of arrangement I have followed the divi sion of the Constitution into articles, sections and clauses instead of considering similar provisions together. No attempt has been made to discuss collateral issues, or to criticise the Constitution because it contains too much or too little. Although new problems relating to constitu tional government are demanding consideration, I feel that one may be excused from discussing them in a work which treats of the Constitution as it is.

Excerpt from Pocket Edition of the Constitution of the United States: With an Introduction by Merrill E. Gates, LL. D., L. H. D., Formerly President of Rutgers College, Later President of Amherst College If a person has lived in good health for a hundred years, we say, he has a good constitution. The Constitution of the United States has been in successful operation now for more than a hundred and thirty years. Ours is the Oldest republic among the great self-governing states of the world. Under our Constitution we have grown, from a little experi mental republic Of four millions, to be a world-power of a hundred and ten millions. The great Americans who planned our government were wise and far-seeing, and they gave us a foundation-law which has the surest promise of continued life, a constitution founded on principles of jus tice that are stable and unchanging, like the solid earth under our feet; yet a constitution which within itself pro vides for change and growth to meet the needs of eicpand ing life. It can be amended. It has been amended, when ever the people of the United States became deliberately convinced that a change was needed. Yet our Constitution, like other living and growing things, changes not by a stroke - not by a revolution or a threat - but by the delib crate growth of a conviction on the part Of the great mass of the people, a conviction which expresses itself in the methods provided for by the Constitution itself, so that successive amendments as required by the people may al ways insure to.us a government deriving its just powers from the consent of the governed.

Excerpt from The Constitution of the United States: A Brief Study of the Genesis, Formulation and Political Philosophy of the Constitution of the United States The framers of the American Constitu tion were faced with an entirely new problem, so far, at all events, as the English-speaking world was concerned; and though they founded their doctrines upon the English traditions of law and liberty, they had to deal with circum stances which none of their British pro genitors had to face, and' they showed a masterly spirit in adapting the ideas of which they were the heirs to a new country and new conditions. The result is one of the greatest pieces of constructive statesmanship ever accomplished. We. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
