Famous quotes containing the word constitution:

    “The Constitution of the United States is not a mere lawyers’ document. It is a vehicle of life, and its spirit is always the spirit of the age. Its prescriptions are clear and we know what they are ... but life is always your last and most authoritative critic.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
