 But We are in an age of iconoclasts and should a movement gain force to introduce some slight amendments which experience would sustain, the benefit to be derived might be far outweighed by the danger of radical changes in the con- stitution subversive to the great benefit that it has secured to the American peo- ple." continued MT.
