Teddy Roosevelt’s speech at the 1912 OH Constitutional Convention:
Constitutional amendments act as a check & balance on failed legislatures. When state gov’t refuses to listen to the majority of citizens, amendments allow us to take back the power & safeguard our interests.
“[amendments]…should be used, not as substitutes for representative government, but as methods of making such government really representative.”
