The Words We Live By: Your Annotated Guide to the Constitution
by Linda R. MonkFrom the book: In this book, you will hear the voices of America's founders and fanatics, of Supreme Court justices and civil rights workers. Among this cacophony are rock star Ted Nugent, first-grader Ruby Bridges, actor Charlton Heston, gay rights activist Michael Hardwick, ex-con Clarence Earl Gideon, and pro-life protester Norma McCorvey. As these stories prove, the Constitution is not self-enforcing and depends upon citizens for its support. Judge Learned Hand emphasized this fact during World War II: I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws, and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes, liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it. For the Constitution to have meaning, it must be not only the words we recite, but also the words we live by.
