Legitimized By and Delegitimizing the Constitution?
Electoral majorities do not empower officials to suspend or subvert a Constitution to which they owe their very legitimacy as leaders.

In the Federalist Papers, Mr. Hamilton wrote that: “Energy in the executive…is essential…to the protection of property (of Americans) …A feeble executive implies a feeble execution of the government. A feeble execution is but another phrase for a bad execution; and a government ill executed, whatever it may be in theory, must be, in practice, a bad government.”
