“Without our Constitution, America is just another world power made great by wealth and weapons instead of by values and convictions; so we are at risk of collapse when our wealth and weapons fail us. It is our Constitution that is our true wealth and the true guarantee of our nation’s endurance.
没有我们的宪法，美国就是另外一个这样的世界大国，它之所以强大是因为财富和武器而不是因为价值和信念；所以当我们缺乏财富和武器的时候，就处于崩溃的危险之中。我们的宪法才是我们真正的财富，才能确保我们的国家得以持久。
