ORATIONS ON THE CONSTITUTION THE ADAPTATION OF THE CONSTIf TUTION TO THE CHANGING NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE g Humanity ever has progressed. History is the record of its changes. Its needs were not the same at the time of Adam as at the time of the French Revolution or the Amer- ican Civil War. Altho the Romans may have been concerned with trade laws, woman' suf- frage bothered them not a bit. We may have the traffic problem to deal with, but the band of motley beggars that filled the streets of Rome never dreamed of mobbing the streets of New York. Today's requisites are not yesterday's, nor will they be the requisites of the future. -Each age has its needs and problems peculiar' to itself. ' But however different the requirements of one generation may be from another, there are always certain elastic principles which forever will Ht the needs of man. Such arc the Ten Commandments of Moses, and the divine teachings of Christ, because they conf tain fundamental laws of humanity. On ac- count of the simplicity of their general truths they have been adaptable to all peoples and times. A The Constitution of the United States may be compared with these deathless laws which have survived the test of ages. One may argue that if a principle is too universal it can not be practical. But the Constituf tion takes the universal and applies it to the specific. The first ten Amendments concern the right of man to enjoy personal liberty. They specifically apply this right in the asf surance of freedom of religion, .speech and press, right of assembly, limiting the right of search, wherein the old English maxim' a man's home is his castle is involved, guaranty of trial by jury, and delegating the powers reserved to the State and People. When our inspired forefathers presented to the eager people the majestic fruit of their patriotic labors, the Constitution, imbued with all that is noble, all of divine freedom that may thrill the spirit of ambitious man, they gave to them not an instrument stiff and rigid with the musty saws of melancholy dogma, but rather, a kindly guide, that might direct and enforce, but not chafeg that might allow freedom, but not license. For every new problem that confronts it, the nation does not have to formulate new laws and new principles. Its vigorous roots, which reach deep into the hearts of the American people, are elastic enough to let its healing flower bend its golden light to any need. As the Constitution grows spiritually, so it may grow materially. From the bud that was fashioned with it, the amendatory clause, has sprung its nineteen moly-leaves, upon each of which is inscribed the will of the people. They are the amendments for the abolition of slavery, for Prohibition, Wo' man Suffrage, and the others that were found necessary to public administration. And again, the first ten Amendments, or thc American Billxof Rights, were inserted im' mediately after the ratification of the Consti' tution because our forefathers deemed it wise to include in their document the right of per' Sonal liberty for which they had so gloriously fought and bled. , The chief virtue of this diamond of many facets lies in its implied powers. The seen' may look within the polished surface of thc gem and divine a deeper and richer meaning than is read on its brilliant face. The Conf stitution definitely states the right of the government to make treaties with foreign nations but not a mite is mentioned of its right to acquire new territory. However, be' neath the resplendent radiance of its lucid crystal emerges the softer light of a greater power, the power of implication. Thru this elasticity of design, much territory has been added to the United States, as Louisiana, Alaska and the Virgin Islands. It is upon this mighty warp, the warp of the Constitution of the United States, that the American home, the American indus' tries, and the American ideals are founded. The warp is democarcy, freedom, and equal- ity. Woven intricately among its golden threads is the woof, expressive of the needs of- the American people tofday. And stead' ily,' surely, Destiny weaves thread upon thread into the shining material as each one is needed, and plucks from it any that may be unsoundg and the design broadens and be' Page Twentyffi ve
