THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION

AN ESSAY

тест

BY JOHN F. BAKER, LL.B.

OF THE NEW YORK BAR

"All the powers of government, in free countries, emanate from
the people; all organized and operative power exists by delegation
from the people. Upon these two pillars is erected the whole fab-
ric of our freedom."-JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

"It is, sir, the People's Constitution, the People's Government;
made for the People; made by the People; and answerable to the
People."-WEBSTER.
