	Phillip S. Paludan \| Lincoln's Prewar Constitutional Vision \| Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Association, 15.2 \| The ...
		The Constitution is admired for the machinery that established national supremacy and preserved a Union; the Declaration for proclaiming the ideal that "all men are created equal" and resting legitimate government on that ideal.
		The Constitution protected slavery in several places as of the 1850s: prohibiting export taxes that might threaten slave-grown products, allowing slave states to count three-fifths of their slaves in apportioning congressional seats, and insuring that persons "held to service or labor" who ran to freedom would not be protected by free state laws.
		Saving the Union and ending slavery and preserving the right to rise and a free labor economy, and defending the right of the people to change governments by ballots not bullets and thus showing people throughout the world that self-government worked, were interrelated parts of what Lincoln wanted to do.

	Confirming judges: The constitutional option \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Both the text and structure of the Constitution show that only one of three possible views about the constitutionality of the judicial filibuster is correct.
		If modern judges feel free to amend the Constitution in the guise of interpreting it, there is a strong argument that an express supermajority confirmation rule might be beneficial.
		What cannot be contested, however, is that the Constitution prevents the Democratic minority from blocking the Republican majority's decision to embody its principles in the rules of the Senate.

		Washington's inauguration carried the Constitution into execution, "to abide the test of time." Whether it would meet the test depended on the "good providence of Heaven," the character of those who would administer it, and the principles of the Constitution itself.
		According to the American way of constitutional politics, this matter was debated not directly on the Declaration's moral grounds, but in terms of the nature of the Union and the relative powers of the general and state governments.
