For this reason we of the class of nineteen hundred and thirty eight have chosen various as- pects of that Constitution as the theme governing the five essays to be presented this evening. By means of these essays, it is our desire to give you a clear, complete view of the value of the Constitution and the part it played in making the United States the democracy that it is today. I, myself, shall deal with the his- tory and developments which sub- sequently led to the adoption of the document. We young people of America are a cynical lot, being inclined to take many things for granted. Among other things, we are indifferent to- ward those blessings of peace and liberty willed us by the framers of the Constitution. It is hard for us to realize that there hasn’t always been a Constitution, that at any time in the history of our American nation the idea of such a nation was abstract. Only through books may we discover the conditions that encouraged the creation of the gov- ernment under which it is our good fortune to live today. Previous to the Revolutionary War, the Thirteen States in America re- sembled those states of ancient Greece in that they were entirely independent of one another. Differ- ences in race, language, and religion were in a large part to blame for the prevalence of this condition. The geographical situation of the colo- nies, each colony having its own har- bors and coastline, also had much to do with their separation, since each, under such conditions, had little cause and less necessity to de- pend on the others. These things are an explanation of, and perhaps a partial excuse for, the lack of national feeling in the colonies be- fore their war for independence. With the advent of the Revolu- tionary War, however, came a rush of patriotism. For a time the colo- nies were united — fighting against what they considered unjust and abominable taxation — fighting for a common cause. With the end of the war, came the end of the only visible force capable of establishing union in the colonies. After winning their cause, people in the colonies immediately displayed their tendencies to drift back into their former mode of living. It was then, in 1775, that the members of the Second Continental Congress, convened at Philadelphia, made a last, frantic attempt to pro- long thoughts of union, by creating what they termed “a plan of general federation and perpetual league.” This plan — The Articles of Confed- eration — was by no means definite, being only a statement of powers which the Continental Congress might exercise (those being very few), and giving the rest of the power to the States. It was presented to the states for ratification in 1777, but it did not go into effect until 1781, since the unanimous consent of the states was necessary to ap- prove it, according to one of the provisions of the Articles. Thus, even before the newly born govern- ment went into effect, one of the 8 The Lawrencian weaknesses of the plan was illus- trated. In reality, the Articles betrayed the frantic way in which they had been compiled. They contained many weak points, two of which subse- quently caused the Confederation’s downfall. First, the Articles failed to grant the central government any power of direct taxation, forcing it to depend, for its revenue, entirely on the good graces of the States to collect the taxes that Congress demanded. Under the Articles, Con- gress alone had the power to de- mand the States to pay such taxes, but no one had the power to force them to do so. This fact was due to the second defect in the Articles. The government did not have the power to enforce the laws it passed, nor to demand obedience to them. The Articles provided for no judicial department to punish offenders of the law, and it may be believed that the States took advantage of this defect. It was a sad state of affairs. A heavy public debt had been incur- red by the recent war, but it was clear, from the beginning, that the obstinate States had no intention of helping to pay it. Delinquency in the payment of taxes became fash- ionable, and State Legislatures com- peted with one another to see which could pay the least amount of taxes. Out of this maze, political think- ers conceived one ray of hope — to dissolve the Articles and to call a convention for the purpose of halt- ing the increasing powers of the separate States by creating a strong- er central government. Accordingly, representatives of all but one State met at Philadelphia in May 1787, to draft the Constitution of the United States. Out of the wreckage, these men salvaged a democracy greater than any other in the world, and established for our ancestors, ourselves, and our posterity, a gov- ernment, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, “of the people, by the peo- ple, and for the people.” Phyllis Gould RIGHTS GRANTED BY THE CONSTITUTION It has been shown in what man- ner the nation is governed and how the Constitution guards the govern- ment itself, to make certain that it is, and will always remain, the gov- ernment of the people. On the other hand the Constitu- tion protects the citizen too and makes sure that he shall not be oppressed by that government. The citizens of the United States have many rights. Foremost among these is the power to vote. During the first century or two after the settling of America, voting was lim- ited to property owners. In 1870, th e Fifteenth Amendment was passed, stating that “the right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servi- tude.” This amendment, neverthe- less, did not extend the voting privilege to women. But in 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment gave to them also the right to vote. The Constitution, with certain ex- ceptions, guarantees equal suffrage to every adult man and woman. The States require that the voter Lawrence High School 9 be twenty-one, be a resident in the state, and in that particular part of it where he intends to vote. Some states require that a voter pay a certain tax, or be able to read and write, or both. These are sometimes considered unjust, but there are some cases in which the right to make them is very plain; for instance, convicted criminals cannot vote, nor can persons who are insane. Another great privilege is the right of a trial by jury. According to this law, no person may be judged guilty of a crime, except in minor cases, until a body of men or women who are not in any way prejudiced have concluded that facts show him to be guilty. The advantages and justice of this law are very clear. For instance, a man of low position cannot be ac- cused by someone high in author- ity, secretly tried by prejudiced per- sons, and unjustly condemned. On the other hand, an official cannot be tried by those under him, who perhaps hate him and want to get rid of him. People in the United States have the right to be secure in their per- sons, houses, property, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures. That is to say, “every man’s house is his castle,” and no one may interfere with him in it. Should a man use this right as a cover for violating the law, officers, armed with a proper warrant, may enter a suspected house, search for, and arrest a criminal or seize stolen or contraband goods hidden there. The Constitution specifically pro- vides that “the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privi- leges and immunities of citizens in the several States.” This means that a citizen of one State may go to another State and there enjoy the same civil rights that citizens of the latter State enjoy, and like- wise be subject to the same restric- tions. The topic of Constitutional rights covers a vast and complete field. In this short essay I have brought out only a few of the more import- ant rights which we as American citizens are fortunate enough to en- joy. Stephen Papp. THE INFLUENCE OF THE SUPREME COURT ON THE CONSTITUTION In the beginning of its career the Supreme Court was fortunate in having on its bench a group of not- ably brilliant judges, whose fore- sight has had much to do with the present success of the Constitution. Constitutional law, as we know it today, is strongly flavored by the early decisions of the Supreme Court. All in all, it is generally agreed that John Marshall headed the bench during the most critical years the Constitution has yet witnessed. Under his jurisdiction came many of the most important cases in the history of the Court. When Marshall succeeded John Jay as Chief Justice he changed the procedure of the Court and did away with much of the formality copied by John Jay from the court of England. At this time Marshall became spokesman for the Court. His interpretations 10 The Lawrencian of the Constitution were entirely free from personal opinions and were influenced only by the words con- tained in the Document. In the simplicity and clarity of his inter- pretations he convinced the Amer- ican people of the correctness of his deductions. He described the im- plications of the Constitution so completely and so forcefully that even today when lawyers desire to quote Constitutional law more often than not they will use the same w T ords that John Marshall used over one hundred and thirty years ago. The faith that many of us still have in the Constitution is perhaps made possible by these early interpreta- tions of Marshall. For the first eleven years after Marshall was ap- pointed Chief Justice his decisions were adopted by the Court in every important case. In those days the bench was composed, without ex- ception, of men with unquestioned ability, men with minds of their own, men who made their decisions and stuck by them. This acceptance of Marshall’s decisions was in itself a tribute to his great ability as an interpreter of the Constitution. The case of Dartmouth College against Woodward is typical of the way these first decisions of the Court built up around the Constitu- tion the code which is still followed today. Dartmouth College was foun- ded in 1739 under a charter givsn to its trustees by the King of England, but the people of the State of New Hampshire gave little thought to the college until after the Revolutionary War, when they realized that under the college charter, the State neither received taxes from the college nor did it have any control over the board of trustees. So, using its new legislative powers the State of New Hampshire passed a statute whereby the original charter of the college was revoked and a new board of trustees created by the State to take over the business of the college. However, in 1819 the members of the old board of trustees filed suit against Woodward, chairman of the new board, for the possession of the books and the papers of the school. After the case had been re- viewed by the lower courts, it was carried to the Supreme Court. When the Supreme Court passed down a decision favoring Dartmouth Col- lege, another step establishing the supremacy of the Constitution had been taken. The decision in this case did not, of course, come directly from the Constitution. It was based on that clause which has to do with contracts, stating that the violation of the sanctity of contracts is un- constitutional. The Constitution does not say definitely that a State Gov- ernment may not revoke a college charter, but it does say quite defin- itely that no State may violate the sanctity of contracts. Here it was up to the judges of the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution. This case is but one of many in which situations not specifically mentioned in the Constitution have been inter- preted by the Supreme Court. Today, as in its infancy, the suc- cess of the Constitution depends more on the Judiciary than on either of the other two branches of our Government. The choosing of a new judge for the Supreme Court bench is still an extremely important step, for in the hands of these judges rests the very life of the Constitu- tion. If we are t o assure the fur- ther success of the Constitution, we must make sure that the Supreme Court has the best judges the United States has to offer. Phyllis Wood. Lawrence High School 11 THE UNITED STATES LEGISLATURE IN COMPARISON WITH THE FRENCH AND GERMAN LEGISLATURES I am going to compare the United States legislature with the legisla- tive, or law making, bodies of France and Germany to show why we should maintain our present democracy. The most important legislative feature of our democracy is the Congress, which is composed of two houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives, both of which are elected by the people. The Sen- ate consists of two men from each state. As there are forty-eight states, there are ninety-six Sen- ators. The House of Representa- tives is the more numerous body of Congress. The Constitution di- rects Congress to reapportion the membership after each census, each state being entitled to at least one member. The Senate represents the Federal principle, because its mem- bers represent the states; and the House represents the National principle, because its members re- present the people. The President of the United States, also elected by the people, has only an advisory power over Congress. He may make any suggestion he wishes, but Con- gress acts as it decides itself. Upon turning to France, we find that France has patterned its legis- lature closely after ours. The French Assembly is its most important legislative feature. The Assembly consists of a Senate and a Chamber of Deputies. The Senate has three hundred members, and the Cham- ber of Deputies has about six hun- dred. The Senators are chosen in- directly by a small assembly of local government authorities, and the Deputies are chosen directly by the voters. The President of France is elected by the Assembly. He has much less power than our Presi- dent, as the real head of the gov- ernment is the prime minister. Next we turn to Germany. We find an altogether different situa- tion. The head of the legislature, as well as the other government bodies, is a dictator. He is aided by a Council, which is made up of the most able men that can be found in the empire. These men are not elected by the people but are appointed by the dictator. The man who acts as the dictator’s “right-hand” man is known as the minister of propaganda. The rea- son he is so important is that it is his duty to keep the minds of the German people in harmony with the dictator’s ideas and practices. He must also keep all matter that would prove to be harmful to the dictator’s policies out of Germany. The dictator’s method of ruling is based on three principles: (1) the people must think alike, (2) they must not disagree, and (3) they must do as they are told. This, the dictator believes, results in a peace- ful, strong government. When we compare the efficiency of these three governments, we see that the United States legislature is superior. The Assembly of France is woven together loosely, and its personnel changes frequent- ly. France is faced with many per- plexities. The people do not co- operate to make a compact govern- ment, they hold frequent strikes, and they can’t decide on their for- 12 The Lawrencian eign policy. The dictatorship of Germany keeps the people from participating in the government. Germany allows no individual free- dom, drives out unpopular minori- ties, and strictly censors all print- ing. The United States legislature neither changes its personnel fre- quently nor forbids the participa- tion of the people in the govern- ment. The United States is faced with unemployment problems and the regulation of taxation. How- ever, these problems are not nearly as bad as those facing France and Germany. Also our legislative ar- rangement allows us steady progress by a fair representation from the people themselves. Thus after our comparison we can truly say: We should maintain our present democracy. Bernice Jones CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS Over a century and a half ago a remarkable group of very able men laid the foundation of the American commonwealth. Among these were George Washington, the greatest man of his time in the world; Benjamin Franklin, who came close to the level of Wash- ington; Patrick Henry, whose mas- terpieces of oratory still stir the soul; Thomas Jefferson, to whose genius we owe the inimitable De- claration of Independence; Thomas Paine; John Paul Jones; and Alex- ander Hamilton. These were not all, but simply the greatest in their special fields, and it is doubtful if the earth ever saw an abler group of statesmen than those to whom we owe the Constitution of the United States. These men, as- sembled in convention at Philadel- phia, organized a government con- sisting of executive, legislative, and judicial departments, each with all the power necessary to make it feared and respected. With this Constitution, the United States of America first came into existence, a strong, energetic, and capable nation, its government possessed of all the powers necessary to the full control of the States and full abil- ity to make itself respected abroad, its people possessed of all the civil rights then known or demanded. The most unique feature of our government is the Supreme Court. It is an independent court which is not responsible to anyone and which acts as a check on the laws passed by Congress, since it may de- clare them either constitutional or unconstitutional, as its justices see fit. Next in importance is the system of checks and balances by which the executive, legislative, and judi- cial departments of the government all act as checks on each other. The bicameral legislature and the President check each other, and the Supreme Court can check them both. The President’s power to veto bills and the power of Con- gress to override his veto and pass the law in spite of the veto are ex- amples of the check and balance system. One of the most recent amend- ments to the Constitution is the Sixteenth, which provides that Con- gress have the power to tax in- comes, from whatever source de- Lawrence High School 13 rived. This amendment was strong- ly opposed, since several similar taxes had been in effect in the late 1800’s but had been repealed or declared unconstitutional and gen- erally found to be very unsatisfac- tory; but it was finally ratified in 1913. The amount of the tax has been changed from time to time, and there are exemptions of cer- tain amounts for money given to charity, etc. Also in 1913 the Seventeenth Amendment, which changed the method of electing Senators, was ratified. The Constitution author- ized that the Senators be elected by the State legislatures. The Seven- teenth Amendment changed this so that the people were given the right to elect the Senators. In 1920 the Eighteenth Amend- ment, which prohibited the manu- facture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within the United States, was put into effect. The amendment gave Congress and the States power to enforce this law by appropriate legislation. It was passed by Congress in 1917 and submitted to the States for ratification at that time. By Janu- ary, 1919, the necessary thirty-six States had ratified it. During the next three years all but two of the remaining States, Connecticut and Rhode Island, ratified. In most of the States the vote definitely fa- vored the amendment. In 1920, after years of making speeches, holding conventions, and even picketing the White House, the women of the United States were given the right to vote. The Nine- teenth Amendment stated that no citizen of the United States should be denied the right to vote o- ac- count of sex. Before 1920 thir- teen States had granted women the right to vote, but the presi- dential election of 1920 was the first election in which both men and women voted in every State in the Union. The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution, which went into effect in 1933, is usually called the Lame Duck Amendment. It did away with the short sessions of Congress which had been held every second year af- ter election. This prevented men who had been defeated at re-election or whose terms had naturally expired, from returning to Washington and making more laws for us before they went out of office. The amend- ment stated that the terms of the President and the Vice-President were to begin on January 20 and those of Senators and Representa- tives on January 3 and that Con- gress was to assemble each year on January 3. The Twenty-First Amendment was ratified by the necessary num- ber of States in 1933. It authorized the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment because of the attitude of the people who at the time were strongly opposed to it and also be- cause of the way it was being violated. There have been no amendments to the Constitution since 1933. but no one knows what changes will be made in our Constitution and our government in the future. How- ever, the Constitution is such an elastic document that there is room for many more changes. Frances M.

R ABES A, LOUIS — Louis, you were voted the shortest in the class. In order that you may realize your tallest ambition, I had these stilts made.

TAVARES, JOHN — John, working in a store requires good, steady nerves. To keep you from hav- ing a nervous breakdown, I give you this celery! THAYER, GEORGE— George, you are an excellent “sax” player and we have missed your music late- ly. Polish up the “Silvertone” with this Silver Polish.
