Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Interprets the Constitution I wish now to submit a few remarks on the general pro position of amending the Constitution. As a general rule, I think we would much better let it alone. No slight occasionshould tempt us to touch it. Better not take the first step, which may lead to a habit of altering it. Better, rather, habit uate ourselves to think of it as unalterable. It can scarcely be made better than it is. New provisions would introduce new difficulties, and thus create and increase appetite for further change. No, sir; let it stand as it is. New hands have never touched it. The men who made it have done their work, and have passed away. Who shall improve on what they did? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
