The Supreme Law of the Land is embodied in the Constitution of the United States. It starts with an opening statement called the Preamble.
What important principles can you find in the words of the preamble? Who does the Constitution protect? Who does the Constitution limit? While both are important, look toward ultimate sovereignty in our system for your answer.
We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.
Abraham Lincoln
The glory of justice and the majesty of law are created not just by the Constitution - nor by the courts - nor by the officers of the law - nor by the lawyers - but by the men and women who constitute our society - who are the protectors of the law as they are themselves protected by the law.
Robert Kennedy
The Constitution does not just protect those whose views we share; it also protects those with whose views we disagree.
Edward Kennedy
