I have a strong constitution.

I believe I am strengthening the Constitution with my case.

My touchstone for every question is the Constitution.

Obviously, I'll keep fighting to uphold the Constitution.

It is becoming more widely acknowledged that it is better to have a good constitution than not having a perfect one.

A good constitution is infinitely better than the best despot.

I follow a set of principles, I follow the Constitution. And that's what I base my votes on. Limited government, economic freedom and individual liberty.

For myself, therefore, I desire to declare that the principle that will govern me in the high duty to which my country calls me is a strict adherence to the letter and spirit of the Constitution as it was designed by those who framed it.

The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.

But I deny that the Constitution recognizes property in man.
