Excerpt from Powers of the American People: Congress, President, and Courts, (According to the Evolution of Constitutional Construction)
An investigation of the powers of any people may be conducted from various standpoints and along various lines. It may be confined to strictly economic lines, it may embrace their arts and sciences, or it may include a discussion of the works of great scholars, and may thus be made from the viewpoint of the American, the English, German, or French scholar.
But whoever the investigator may be, he should not fail to observe the fact that the ceaseless progression of mankind has ever been welding the human family into a unit. In that progress, all governments - be they aristocratic, monarchical, or republican - are undergoing a process of evolution. Whether or not the progression seems to result in undue advantages by one nation as against another, it tends to the ultimate good of the human family. Whether the nations like it or dislike it, whether they approve it or disapprove it, they are steadily approaching international amalgamation through a higher humanity and a newer civilization. The American people are inseparable and integral parts of this larger movement toward a common human destiny. Nor is there anything Utopian, puerile, or idealistic in the theory of such a movement.
