Thirteen Free and Independent
Nations
When we start to study anything
we must begin at the beginning. The
Constitution of the United States be
gins with a Preamble. A Preamble
is intended to explain the purpose
of what follows. The Preamble to
our Constitution does that in 52
words.
"We, the people of the United
States, in order to foim a more per
fect Union, establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the gen
eral welfare, and secure the bless
ings of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity, do ordain and establish
this CONSTITUTION for the United
States of America."
That explains what the Constitu
tion was expected to do. It does not,
however, explain why it was neces
sary to draw up a Constitution, 11
years after the English Colonies of
America had declaredi their in
dependence of Great Britain. The
Declaration of Independence was
signed in 1776. The Constitution
was adopted in 1787. Before we can
understand the why of the Consti
tution, we must understand what
kind of a government we had in
America before there was any Con
stitution.
The very first phrase of the
Constitution raises questions. "We,
the people of the United States."
How were the States united before
there was any Constitution? What
had kept them together throughout
the War of the Revolution? What
had held them together after the
Revolution and before they adopted
the Constitution? For, as they ex
pressly stated in the Declaration of
Independence, they were not only
free states, but independent states.
For that matter, what did they
mean by the word "states," in the
Declaration of Independence and in
the Constitution itself? When the
Founding Fathers of the Republic
said "state" they meant exactly
what we mean today when we say
"nation." In the 18th century the

For real ice is pure, has no odors, never taints the con

Then too, real ice purifies all food odors, just as it
protects them from spoiling. It keeps one, constant,

times a dependable, safe feature that costs you less

word "nation" was seldom used; the
word "state" was always understood
as meaning a nation. The Declara
tion of Independence, after declar
ing that "these United Colonies are,
and of right ought to be, free and
independent States," continues: "and
that all political connection between
them and the STATE of Great Brit
ain is, and ought to be, dissolved."
"United States," then, meant "Uni
ted Nations."
Thirteen indeperient nations,
seeking to free themselves f:om the
domination of another nation,
fought the War of the Revolution.
They called their union a "Confed
eration of States." Exactly the
same meaning would have been con
veyed if they had called it a "League
of Nations/' *
In the beginning, thin union of
independent states was nothing more
than a mutual alliance to cany on
the war. It was almost exactly the
same sort of "union" as that between
the allied but independent nations of
Europe, for the conduct of the
World War from 1914 to 1919.. The
American States had the com
mon background of having all been
subject to the same domination by
another nation. But the utmost their
leaders had in mind in the way of a
union, at the beginning of the Rev
olution, was an alliance of independ
ent nations in what they explicitly
termed a "League of Friendship."
The only central government that
existed in America for the first five
years of the war with Great Britain
was the Continental Congress, com
posed of delegates from the thirteen
states. It had so little power or au
thority that it could hardly be called
a government at all. The Continent
al Congress qpuld borrow money, if
anyone would lend it, but could not
levy taxes to repay such loans. It
would issue requisitions to the sep
arate states for supplies and troops,
but it could not make its acts ef
fective.

County, but space does not permit
them to be summarized here. A
summary of these general, state-wide
laws will be found in, the May-June
issue of Popular Government, The
Institute's magazine. In this sum
mary for the County, only local laws
and general laws from which the
County or some part of the County
is specifically excepted, are men
tioned. No attempt is made to cover
bills which were introduced but nev
er became law.

Escape Injury When
Automobile Wrecks
Late Sunday afternoon a group
of local men composed of Thomas
Shugart, Paul Reece, Cola Pulp and
Max Boyles, miraculously escaped
injury when the right rear tire of
the Shugart car blew out and the
car somersaulted three times. The
accident occurred near Fairview in
this county. The party was return
ing from the ball game at Mount
Airy. The car was badly damaged.
Another odd thing about the whole
business is how they can wallop the
taxpayers for four billion dollars at
a whack and call it relief.
The Sage of Three Rivers declares
that woman can never claim equality
with man until she wears shoes that
don't hurt her feet.
