Except for the Bible, the two greatest documents ever written are the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

What makes the Universal Declaration an epochal document is first of all its global impetus and secondly the breadth of its claims, a commitment to a new social contract, binding on all the Governments of the world.

The other salient characteristic of the Declaration is its universality: it applies to all human beings without any discrimination whatever; it also applies to all territories, whatever their economic or political regime.

I happen to miss the Constitution; I thought it was a good document.

The Declaration calls us to recognize the inherent equality of all people. And when it becomes unmistakably evident that a government is denying the governed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it's the right of people to establish a new government to secure these unalienable rights.

Let all Americans sit down and read this great document. Since the Constitution's ratification, it has been the framework for our great nation.

The constitution is a sacred document in a democracy.

Next to the Bible, I think the Constitution is the most important document ever written.

In America we have a Declaration of Independence, but our history, our advancements, our global strength all point to an American declaration of interdependence.

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.
