“The Federal Constitution has stood the test of more than a hundred years in supplying the powers that have been needed to make the Central Government as strong as it ought to be, and with this movement toward uniform legislation and agreements between the States I do not see why the Constitution may not serve our people always.”

“All too soon these feet must hide
In the prison cells of pride,
Lose the freedom of the sod,
Like a colts for work be shod,”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (18071892)
