All THEODORE ROOSEVELT Quotes about “Constitution”

“It is the people, and not the judges, who are entitled to say what their constitution means, for the constitution is theirs, it belongs to them and not to their servants in officeâ€”any other theory is incompatible with the foundation principles of our government.”
“The words of the Declaration of Independence, as given effect by Washington...are to be accepted as real, and not as empty phrases...that in very truth this is a government by the people themselves, that the Constitution is theirs, that the courts are theirs, that all the government agents and agencies are theirs... It is for the people themselves finally to decide all questions of public policy and to have their decision made effective...We here, in America, hold in our hands the hope of the world.”
“The Constitution was made for the people and not the people for the Constitution.”
“The Constitution guarantees protection to property, and we must make that promise good. But it does not give the right of suffrage to any corporation. It is necessary that laws should be passed to prohibit the use of corporate funds directly or indirectly for political purposes; it is still more necessary that such laws should be thoroughly enforced.”
“All constitutions, those of the States no less than that of the nation, are designed, and must be interpreted and administered so as to fit human rights.”
“To hell with the Constitution when people want coal!”
