Power's not what the Constitution was about.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Constitution was about a limitation on power.
Politics is not about power.
No power on earth is greater than a mind and soul reawakened. Our Constitution begins 'we the people', not 'us the government'.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
The ultimate touchstone of constitutionality is the Constitution itself and not what we have said about it.
A Constitution should be short and obscure.
Our Constitution recognises no other power than that of persuasion, for enforcing religious observances.
Section 7 of the Constitution doesn't grant a power for the king to do whatever he wishes.
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.
Power should not be concentrated in the hands of so few, and powerlessness in the hands of so many.
