It was an argument of rare power and eloquence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Constitution was about a limitation on power.
Arbitrary power is like most other things which are very hard, very liable to be broken.
Power's not what the Constitution was about.
I think that many people in history who had power were bumped off because they had power.
Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.
The possession of arbitrary power has always, the world over, tended irresistibly to destroy humane sensibility, magnanimity, and truth.
The implication that everyone would have to accept its judgments uncritically, that it was a decision from which there could be no appeal, was astonishing.
Very often the law of extremity demands an attention to irrelevance.
Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.
As a result of my study, I came to the conclusion that a common supreme authority was undesirable.
