Constitution
The glory of justice and the majesty of law are created not just by the Constitution — nor by the courts — nor by the officers of the law — nor by the lawyers — but by the men and women who constitute our society — who are the protectors of the law as they are themselves protected by the law.

The happy Union of these States is a wonder; their Constitution a miracle; their example the hope of Liberty throughout the world.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.
