The Constitution Is Not A Law, But

More From Joseph Smith, Jr.

The sovereignty of the states is the language of the confederacy and not the language of the constitution. the latter contains the emphatic words. this constitution and the laws of the united states which shall be made in pursuance thereof and all treaties made or which shall be made under the authority of the united states, shall be the supreme law of the land and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding
Law Land Judging
The inhabitants of the ceded territory shall be incorporated in the union of the united states, and admitted as soon as possible, according to the principles of the federal constitution, to the enjoyment of all the rights, advantages, and immunities, of citizens of the united states; and, in the mean time, they shall be maintained and protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property, and the religion which they profess.
Mean Rights Liberty
Louisiana, as ceded by france to the united states, is made a part of the united states; its white inhabitants shall be citizens, and stand, as to their rights and obligations, on the same footing with other citizens of the united states, in analogous situations.

A law is unjust if it is inflicted on a minority that, as a result of being denied the right to vote, had no part in enacting or devising the law. who can say that the legislature of alabama which set up the state's segregation laws was democratically elected?

[j.f] kennedy's own accent was inconsistent. so people are inconsistent. and it always kind of irks me when people talk about inconsistent accents, because people are imperfect by nature. so in the end, what you do is, you do an inhabitation and not an imitation.
People Imperfect Kind
The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

Maybe, just maybe, there should be a graphic novel dealing with the contribution of the women of the civil rights movement, to tell their story. the pain, the hurt. they raised their children. some were working as maids, but when they left those kitchens, those homes, they made it to the mass meetings. and they put their bodies on the lines, also.

I think that people all grow up and have their same personalities, but you can say, "oh, i can see the roots of this personality, which i didn't like, but then you grew up, and i can still see you as that person, but i do really like you now." which is sort of how i feel about children - i mean, about children who i knew when i was a child and grew up with, and they're still my friends, and children that i know as children who i see growing up, and every year i like them more.

So far, we do not seem appalled at the prospect of exactly the same kind of education being applied to all the school children from the atlantic to the pacific, but there is an uneasiness in the air, a realization that the individual is growing less easy to find; an idea, perhaps, of what standardization might become when the units are not machines, but human beings.
