Its novelty, as known by experience to the e irlier immigration, can hardly be expected to receive full appreciation even from the most in- telligent immigrants of the present generation. Our separation from the traditions and habits of thought of the Old World was so complete that the Declaration of Independence ratified an old fact rather than accomplished a new fact. The Constitution of the United States confirmed us in the possession of that inde- pendent tradition and a complete individual... freedom. The States which it united, the Federal Government which it established, are chiefly remarkable for their inhibitions of po'-ver, for their limitation of granted powers, for the strength and multiplicity of their safeguards of individual freedom. The sovereignty of the people, incontestible, possessed, fresh like the dew of morning in the beginning of our day and not like the dust and sweat of centuries of strife, was here first asserted and made manifest throughout the whole area of its jurisdiction, in its reservations and self-denials, in those limits set to its control, in those fortiiied safeguards of civil equality and individual lib- erty.
