SALUTATDDY SDEECH . . . GUARDIAN OF THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS The Guardian of the People's Rights is defined in just one word. That word is Constitution Fundamental laws and principles determine the constitution of any country or state. These laws d an principles are necessary for the organization of a country or state to function with the greatest efficiency. Many countries recognize,,their constitution as supreme law of their land, 'llie powers of a - - .Q V constitution are many and mighty, but are greatly needed. lt helps to determine the form of govern- ment and limits the power of those who are our representatives in the government. Constitutions consist of two kinds, written which is employed in the United States and unwritten which exists in England. Representatives either appointed or elected by the people usually determine the contents of a written constitution. On the other hand, unwritten constitutions are always a means of tradition and usually are in the first primitive stages of development. Written constitutions can usually be changed or amended when they are out-moded and no longer useful for the purpose they were intended to represent. Unwritten constitutions may contain as many good characteristics as the other and may fit in accordingly as well. Dictators have arisen from countries bv both legal and illegal methods and have ignored their constitutions altogether and have hindered the prosperity and progress of the people and country. Therefore it is not enough to frame or build a constitution, but to execute its powers in the exact detail, so that it gives a just and understanding opinion to its people, This task in selecting and building a government is necessary- to the success of a democracy. A constitution should pro- vide for the betterment and justification of its people. The Constitution of the United States was formed by very ingenious methods. It grouped to- gether representatives of all groups of people, the rich and the poor alike. These ideas were com- bined together and united into one great document. By comparison and compromise, the Con- stitution was set up as one of the strongest statutes in the world. In the case of our country, the adoption of the Constitution has provided an excellent threshhold for the betterment of the democracy. Democracy strengthens the ideals of peace and humanity, which should be the creed for all nations to follow. In other words, democracy is helped by the development of a constitution, which is made entirely possible by the carrying out of beneficial ideals for that country. Democracy is the voice of the people, and is made possible by a constitution, which is the guardian of the peoples rights. Wendell Phillips
