Constitution
Continued from previous page
of conscience, belief, religion.
Justice Brandeis once wrote
that "the most comprehen-
sive right of civilized man is
the right to be left alone."
It is therefore vital and
strategic to us as a historical-
ly persecuted minority to ask
what kind of governmental
arrangement best promotes
our right to be left alone, our
right to privacy and
autonomy, conscience and
religion, even against .
majorities.
I think we belieVe with good
reason that a govermental
design that distrusts all
power, that seeks to com-
prehensively and effectively
limit, control and regulate all
power, that makes all power
subordinate to the will of the
people, and has an indepen-
dent judiciary to protect
minorities against majorities
is the structure that best pro-
tects our right to be different.
The architects of the Con-
stitution built their structure
of power on a careful founda-
tion of limitation. They
separated and divided govern-
mental powers into the tripar-
tite division — legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial — and
limited, expressed, enumer-
ated, and delegated the
operating powers as only
"herein granted." Power not
otherwise provided for was
reserved to the states, thus
dividing, indeed federalizing
power. In short, they checked
and balanced power, they - dif-
fused power. In addition,
significantly, the Constitu-
tion provides for the
supremacy — John Adams
wrote "an exact" supremacy
— of the civil power over the
military power.
These limitations on power
were not enough. The people
wanted additional effective
limitations on power to pro-
tect the main principle of the
revolution, the principle of a
government by consent,
popular sovereignty-, self-
government, people power,
based on the proposition that
"all just power derives from
the consent of the governed."
And the people wanted to pro-
tect personal autonomy. It
was at the point of ratifica-
tion that the Bill of Rights
was sought to be added.
For minorities, including
Jews, there is particular pro-
tection in the First Amend-
ment language that separates
church and state, and in the
Fourteenth Amendment lan-
guage that prohibits state
government from depriving
any person of life, liberty, or
property without due process
of law, or denying any person
the equal protection of the
laws. The Fourteenth Amend-
ment is the great equality
