The Idea That The Object Of Constitutions Is Not To Confirm The Predominance Of Any Interest, But To Prevent It; To Preserve With Equal Care The Independence Of Labour And The Security Of Property; To Make The Rich Safe Against Envy, And The Poor Against Oppression, Marks The Highest Level Attained By The Statesmanship Of Greece.
