I entirely concur in the propriety of resorting to the sense in which the Constitution was accepted and ratified by the nation. In that sense alone it is the legitimate Constitution.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The ultimate touchstone of constitutionality is the Constitution itself and not what we have said about it.
But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.
It is becoming more widely acknowledged that it is better to have a good constitution than not having a perfect one.
I reverence the Constitution of the United States as a sacred document. To me its words are akin to the revelations of God, for God has placed his stamp of approval on the Constitution of this land.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
The Constitution is not neutral. It was designed to take the government off the backs of people.
The Constitution is man-made, so it is not perfect. It's not the basis of my beliefs. My belief system is based on the Scriptures which come from God.
The constitution is a sacred document in a democracy.
I have been a firm believer in the federal structure of our country as enshrined in the Constitution.
Just because a majority of the Supreme Court declares something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so.
