What is the Constitution?

[Jim Choate <ravage@ssz.com>]

    Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it
    cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on
    the government, not on private individuals- that it does not prescribe
    the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the
    government- that it is not a charter _for_ government power, but a
    charter of the citizen's protection _against_ the government.

    - Ayn Rand
