THE PROBLEM OF THE CONSTITUTION

by Edward Jerome ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 27, 1939

The thesis of this is that the Constitution should be interpreted in the light of Hamiltonian dialectic, i.e., that we are a republic not a democracy, and this backward look is a far cry from reality. Theories of economic doctrines, sovreignity, with attention to the dual setup of state and federal governments, a sharp criticism of modern constitutional theories and the Supreme Court decision upholding the National Labor Relations Act constitute a major part of the discussions herein, and the whole is a sharp shriek of pain against present day application of constitutional interpretation. By this thesis the Constitution becomes, not a political document but a static catalopsis.
