IT WAS NO ACCIDENT that old Isaac Norris, Speaker of
the Assembly in Philadelphia, chose the quotation he did. The
Assembly had appropriated money for the State House. Often,
when this dignified and elective body adjourned, the members
would stroll over to that half-finished building which later
came to be called
Independence Hall, and stand there watching
the carpenters and the bricklayers. Old Isaac would say:
"There is a building coming out of the sweat and toil of free
men."...

The Way for a Nation
.
in: Seventeen, p.55, Jul'46.
What is our Bill of Rights? A few afterthoughts tacked onto the
Constitution? No, it is a charter of freedom demanded by the
people, a blueprint to show all people how to
protect liberty
In a letter to a friend of his, a veteran soldier of our
Revolution said about the new Constitution:
"It tells me a nation of things about Government,
but no place inside of it is there a good reason
why I fought in a war and
took me a wound in
the arm. The Arm is no good for ploughing or
otherwise, but I sit with a fine document that fine
Men have drafted."
