Synopsis
The Constitution, Its Origin, Function And Authority: A Lecture Introductory To The Subject Of Constitutional Law, Delivered Before The Law School Of Harvard University by Theophilus Parsons. This 1861 Harvard lecture presents a foundational meditation on what a constitution is and why it matters. Parsons argues that the Constitution is the supreme law of the nation, a deliberate expression of the people’s will designed to preserve fundamental rights and coordinate the powers of government. He contrasts the American written Constitution with the British system, insisting that sovereignty resides in the people and their deliberate choice, not in unchangeable tradition. The talk explores the origin of constitutional government in America, the role of the judiciary in policing constitutional validity, and the tension between a higher moral law and the written law. He discusses secession, revolution, loyalty, and the enduring strength of a government grounded in law. Throughout, Parsons champions constitutional obedience, public virtue, and the belief that the Constitution will guide the nation through crisis toward greater liberty and justice.
