"The framers of our Constitution,” wrote the late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, "did not believe that any man or any body of men could safely be entrusted with unlimited power. They thought, and all experience justified them in thinking, that hu man nature could not support the temptation which unlimited power always brings.” It is for this reason that our Constitution is made paramount to the goverment itself, restricts the power which it grants to our govern ment, distributes what powers It does grant among three branches— Congress, the Executive and the Federal Courts; makes each branch Independent of the others; declares that all powers not granted in the Constitution “are reserved to the States or to the people,” and pro vides that amendments may be made not by Congress or the Executive or For Christmas Your friends will appreciate the thoughtfulness that! prompts you to give your • photograph. !
