Book Description

Excerpt from Lectures on the Constitution of the United States: Before the Law Class of Mercer University These lectures introductory to the explanation of the Constitution, as made to the Law students of Mercer University, are printed in response to many requests for their publication in this form, especially from young men. They were printed as they were delivered, and given wide publicity by the Macon Telegraph. The evident interest manifested in the historical incidents they detail, must be ascribed in large part to this action of that widely read journal. It is, however, gratifying to believe also, that, after many formidable assaults and misguiding interpretations, from time to time aimed at the indispensable and inherent powers of the noble instrument to which they relate, its established efficacy for all the essentials of National Government, has won for it lasting popular confidence and the anxious desire of enlightened Americans to master its principles.
