We are the principal and we create the Con gress and make it our agent with power to act within the limita tions we enumerate in our chart er, but with no power to go be yond those limits. In addition we specifically prohibit it from cer tain acts. Under these conditions, what recourse do “we the people” have if the Congress, as our agent, ex ceeds the limits we specify or en acts legislation which we specific ally prohibit? If left to itself to determine such a case, the Con gress naturally would approve its own acts. It would not pass an act and disapprove it. Thus the agent would authorize what the princi pal prohibits. To prevent this, “we the peo ple,” in our Constitution, provide the simple means commonly pro vided where the principal chal lenges the acts of his agent in court. The court—in the case of our Constitution, a federal court and finally the Supreme Court— tries the case by hearing both sides. If the Court finds the agent’s act in accordance with the agent’s power, the act is upheld. But if the Court finds that the agent acted beyond his authority the Court so states, whence such act is declared unauthorized, and therefore void, or in other words unconstitutional. If the Congress as the people’s agent had power to exceed the people’s Constitution such a Con stitution would be useless. To pre vent this and protect ourselves against unauthorized acts by our agent, “we the people” make our Constitution “the supreme law” and we create and empower the Supreme Court to construe or pass upon it. Factory Safest, Report Indicates 'The safest place to be is not at home, not out in the open, but in a manufacturing plant, according to a report of the National Safety Council. The report shows that there are less than one third as many in dustrial accidents as accidents in the home; in fact, that occupa tional accidents are far fewer, and far less serious than any oth er type. The American workman is the beneficiary of the most intensive safety drives ever launched any where, drives which have reduced accident frequency 61 percent in ten years—with the seriousness of the average individual accident declining at a comparable rate, the report indicates.
