Excerpt from The Democracy of the Constitution, and Other Addresses and Essays The first five papers in this volume deal with the Constitution of the United States, with the democ racy which it created and limited, and with the changes in it which are now proposed, affecting the courts and the principles of representative govern ment. I have endeavored to omit, so far as possible, any repetitions, but as all the addresses are concerned with different phases of the same subject there are certain points where the same argument must recur in order to make clear the particular aspect of the question to which the main discussion is devoted.
