ABSTRACT
The individual has overstepped the bounds of his own small constitution, his small state, the natural and God-given limits of his freedom and obedience. Political discussions on the general form of the state are vain play, a futile luxury of arrogant reasons compared to the gravity of this higher question of the disintegration into which all domestic life, small states and members of the larger states, have fallen. No trace will remain of the political castles in the air which this century has erected. When all the wounds of this century have ceased bleeding and all the passions which blinded people's judgment have become calm, the future will accept the convulsions of their days as the awakening of religion. The future will understand the clamorous calls for constitutionality which drowned out quiet political investigation; it will recognize that there was only one constitution of merit, the quest for the first and only political constitution the world has known, the Christian.
