Let it wait until Americans have come to think seriously and consistently about fundamental political problems.

The Federal Constitution is not all it should be, but it is better than any substitute upon which American public opinion could now agree.

Modifications may and should somehow be made in details, but for the present not in fundamentals.

On the other hand, no similar sanctity attaches to municipal charters and state constitutions.

The ordinary state constitution is a sufficiently ephemeral piece of legislation.
