Happy Birthday to us.

Constitutionalism is the idea, often associated with the political theories of John Locke and the founders of the American republic,
that government can and should be legally limited in its powers, and that its authority or legitimacy depends on its observing these limitations.

"Of course, the real reason progressives swoon over South Africa’s (100 pages long) constitution is that it goes far beyond merely establishing a framework for government and guarantees progressive policies—for example, by requiring legislation that prevents pollution and ecological degradation. In other words, the left’s real discontent with the U.S. Constitution is that it does not require Americans to adopt a progressive government and expansive welfare state that provides for every “right” social scientists can justify.
Americans should be very wary of those who would seek to upend the Constitution from the firm grounding in human nature that has allowed it to endure for more than two centuries and would transform it into an instrument devoted to policies of passing whimsy."
