The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.

George Washington

The Declaration of Independence was the promise; the Constitution was the fulfillment.

Warren Burger

. . . a constitution, intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently, to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs.

John Marshall

The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sun beam in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.

Alexander Hamilton

At the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked, "What have you wrought?" He answered, . . . a Republic, if you can keep it.
