Thomas Paine Quotes

The Constitution Of A Country Is Not The Act Of Its Government, But Of The People Constituting Its Government. It Is The Body Of Elements, To Which You Can Refer, And Quote Article By Article; And Which Contains The Principles On Which The Government Shall Be Established, The Manner In Which It Shall Be Organized, The Powers It Shall Have, The Mode Of Elections, The Duration Of Parliaments, Or By What Other Name Such Bodies May Be Called; The Powers Which The Executive Part Of The Government Shall Have; And In Fine, Everything That Relates To The Complete Organization Of A Civil Government, And The Principles On Which It Shall Act, And By Which It Shall Be Bound. A Constitution, Therefore, Is To A Government What The Laws Made Afterwards By That Government Are To A Court Of Judicature. The Court Of Judicature Does Not Make The Laws, Neither Can It Alter Them; It Only Acts In Conformity To The Laws Made: And The Government Is In Like Manner Governed By The Constitution.
