Parchment Barriers: The Constitution as Law

Abstract

Backsliding member states sustaining the authority of the constitution constitutional courts court packing legality voiding of legal acts removal of participant from the constitution And therefore this is another Errour of Aristotles Politiques, that in a wel ordered Common-wealth, not Men should govern, but the Laws. What man, that has his naturall Senses, though he can neither write nor read, does not find himself governed by them he fears, and beleeves can kill or hurt him when he obeyeth not? or that beleeves the Law can hurt him; that is, Words, and Paper, without the Hands, and Swords of men?1.
