property and pursuit Of happiness
Hence it was long ago recognized THAI
the direct action of a temporary ma
jority of the existing electorate must
be limited by fundamental law; that
is by constitution intended to pro
tect the individual and the minority Of
the electorate and the non-voting ma
jority of the people against the unjust
or arbitrary action of the majority of
sary to introduce into the Constitution
certain declarations as to the rights
of the individual which it was the pu
pose of the whole people to maintain
through the Government against the
aggression OF any temporary majorit!
of the electorate and to provide il.
the same instrument certain proceed
ure by which the individual might
assert and vindicate those rights.
Then, to protect against the momen-
tary impulse of temporary majority
of the electorate to change the funda-
mental law and deprive the individ-
: ual or the voting minority or tn
non-voting majority of inalienable
rights, the Constitution provided a
number of checks and balances where
by every amendment to the Constitu-
ton must be adopted under forms and
with delays that are intended to Sc
cure much deliberation on the part OF
the electorate in adopting such am
endments.
