Write a constitution, and you generally have a more stable government.
Once you have it, defy it, and your actions are evident. The constitution is a witness against you. It looms large. The nation’s citizens are its citizens.
Its footprint shadows you. Now that the government is intended secure, culture and society thrive.
Those protected under the constitution can prosper, in wealth, mind, spirit. The pursuit of happiness is given to them to work out.
Poverty emerges in those countries without such a support. The weak have no place to rest. They are subject to violence and theft.
And so here: we hold these truths to be self-evident.
