The Parker and Davis Constitution Club of New York is supporting a movement to defend the Constitution from Republican attacks. A recent speech by John R. Dos Passos laid out the Republicans’ “unconstitutional and unjust acts.” The unnamed author agrees that the interpretation of the Constitution has changed but finds fault with Dos Passos’s arguments as they are based on events that occurred several decades ago.
