Maryland. and no provision is made for
amendments. Otherwise the document is
good enough The work Of the convention
was really - supply these defects IN the Orlgi-
nal constitution. and t. leave it in other par
ticulars pretty much as 1t TO- Instead, the
body when II came together conceived OF lts
duties on a much larger scale, and virtually
drafted a code # laws rather than funda-
mental statement of principles for the orgAni-
zation of a state government.
The whole field Of legislation was trayersed
and sections were added 10 the constitution
such as are usually found in the Revised
Statutes of other States. Men who were
presumably good citizens and ought to have
been good LAWYERS seemed TO have missed en-
tirely the distinction which is recognized
between constitutional and statute law.
In place Of few plain principles providing
for the establishment Of the several functions
OF n State government, there Is the most re-
markable legal document ever devised. in
which there are innumerable objections and
several contradictions, il IS said.
