	Iraqi Cleric Intensifies Opposition to Interim Constitution
		BAGHDAD, March 22 -- Iraq's most powerful Shiite Muslim cleric intensified his opposition to the country's interim constitution in a letter released Monday, threatening to boycott meetings with U.N. envoys who are expected to help chart the transition from American occupation if the constitution is endorsed by the U.N. Security Council.
		While Sistani has already made clear his objections to the interim constitution, the letter was forceful in questioning its legitimacy, demanding that it be amended and warning of the consequences of not revising a document praised by its supporters as the most liberal in the Arab world.
		The interim constitution, known as the Transitional Administrative Law, was signed March 8 in what Iraqi and U.S. leaders praised as a landmark in Iraq's progress toward a democratic state.

	John Jay and the Constitution
		Finally, the supremacy clause of the Constitution drew its authority from the circular letter to the states adopted by Congress in April 1787 as drafted by Jay.
		Some time between the appearance of Federalist No. 64 in March 1788 and the Doctors' Riot, which occurred in mid-April, was the period when Jay wrote his seminal paper, An Address to the People of the State of New-York, On the Subject of the Constitution, Agreed upon at Philadelphia, the 17th of September, 1987.
		Whether this was in fact a devious tactic of the Antifederalists to alert the voters to the dangers inherent in the proposed Constitution, which permitted the federal judiciary to intermeddle with the state courts, is a distinct possibility.

	Letter from President Aristide on the 18th Anniversary of the Haitian Constitution - March 29, 2005
		When, on March 29, 1987, the Haitian people ratified the Constitution by more than 90%, they expressed their desire to participate in public affairs, to transform the country into a state of law and to build a lasting democracy.
		Since February 29, 2004 the 1987 Constitution, the basic law of Haiti, has been completely ignored; the vote of the Haitian people in the presidential elections of November 2000 ridiculed; and fundamental human rights practically non-existent.
		On March 25, 2005 while the Haitian people demonstrated for the re-establishment of the Constitution, the forces of repression attacked again, causing two deaths and many wounded.

		If not, the constitution, which will undoubtedly be adopted unanimously in March, will share the fate as the Soviet Constitution, and last year's order by General Moltenskoi outlawing arbitrary cleanups.

		Since many provinces are lightly populated, a provision that any three provinces out of the eighteen could reject the permanent constitution seems to Sistani to be anti-democratic, to allow a small minority to hold the entire country hostage.
		I want to emphasize that this document was passed without a single dissenting vote, that there was a genuine effort on the part of the governing council, which was successful, to engender a consensus about this document article by article.
		No huge compromise was made, as was the case say with the American Constitution where the founders of the American Constitution compromised say on the issue of slavery.

	Texas Law Review presents Lawrence Sager and Akhil Amar on the U.S. Constitution, March 20
		Lawrence Sager, one of the nation's preeminent constitutional theorists and scholars, came to Texas in 2002 from NYU School of Law, where he was the Robert B. McKay Professor and Co-Founder of the Program in Law, Philosophy and Social Theory.
		Sager’s work, Justice in Plainclothes, argues that “constitutional judges are partners rather than agents” and are expected by the terms of the Constitution to gaurentee constitutional justice by doing “much of the heavy normative lifting in the course of bringing detail to the abstract generalities of the liberty-bearing portions of the Constitution.”
		He insists that the Civil War created a dividing line in interpretation and that with the Constitution's failure in 1861, a new interpretation began.

		Appearing on a pair of television interview shows March 7, Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) Administrator L. Paul Bremer said he believes Iraqi leaders are on their way toward resolving last-minute concerns by some Governing Council members that held up a planned signing ceremony March 5.
		The earlier planned signing ceremony was called off when five Shiite members of the Governing Council withdrew their support of the document -- endorsed by the entire council earlier in the week -- over provisions they construed as giving too much power to minority Kurds.
		On the Fox interview, Bremer said it was "a little early to know" whether the Shiites now would agree to the constitution as written or would seek changes.
