L.A. Liberty

There’s no way to keep governments limited to what Constitutions say. … There is this fundamental problem with Constitutions: they’re just pieces of paper. They don’t grow fangs when governments violate them. … The problem is, how do you enforce [promises and limitations] made at ratifying conventions? And it’s because of [this] problem that we are ultimately reduced to wondering whether written Constitutions can, in the long run, limit governments after all.
