Law AGAINST LAWS
IS FOUND BY MORRIS
N U.S.. CONSTITUTION
State Attorney General Tells
Lions OF Nations Charter;
Club Promised Lion

That phase Of the federal constitu-
ton which makes it. i'll effect. a law
against passing laws. something often
invoked In the minds OF citizens who
feel the burden of SO many enact
mcnts. vas stressed as something 10
think about. in a talk on the consti-
tuition given by Attorney General
James Morris before the Lions lunch
con. today.
The talk was the Constitution day
talk. postponed from last week be-
cause the opening OF the hunting
season ccnflictcd with a suitable at
| tendance.
The attorney general discussed the
| genesis of the national charter. en-
phasi:ing the difficulties out OF which
it was born. When the Declaration
of Independence had become a fact
and the authority of the king and
parliament of England had been
thrown off. he said. the colonists
found they had what existed nowhere
else i'll the civilized w~orid-cntirc
freedom. They tired to live like a
federated league under tho Articles
of Confederation. but they found free
dom could exist in too large n guam
THY. so they set about formulating
something more practical to make
democracy workable.
This led to the convention to write
the constitution. Two factions made
themselves felt in this assemblage III
Philadelphia i'll September. 1857, one
for a strong central government. the
other for a loose federation of the
colonies. the latter retaining their
sove:eigntics. This difference Of
opinion resulted, III nearly splitting
the convention on the nature OF tho
national assembly and resulted III
the plan Of two houses. that Of rep
r~escntativeS elected OH a basis Of
population. and that Of the senate.
elected OIL a basis Of separate states.
This constitution has worked out
splcndidly and is an evidence Of tho
good Judgment and intelligence Of its
formulatOrs. said tho attorney gen.
cral. II promises to continue to cxcr-
else its authority far into the remote
future. he added. protecting the citi-
zen in his ~iaalicnahlc rights just as
1t has in the past.
