" This convention," he says, "was plainly undemo- cratic and its members made no pretence of any deep or abiding faith in the common man. The great document, which was drawn, submitted to the people in conventions, and finally adopted against the most [88] violent protest in our history, set up anything but a simple democracy. It created a government of checks and balances so complex that only a small proportion of our people have ever yet understood its workings. A House of Representatives, el
...ected biennially, was balanced by a senate which never went out of existence and whose members held office for six years. And all three, house, senate, and executive, were balanced by a supreme court which might veto laws that seemed unconstitutional. Thus a governmental machine was wound up like a clock and set going. At no time could the people inter- vene and change its policy unless they could work up such a commotion that house, senate, president and court would all be changed at the same time — a feat which has never been performed." ^ Serious checks and balances to ill considered legis- lation there are indeed in England, but they are not of the mechanical nature of those which the Ameri- can constitution provides.
