Davis Biography Promotes Broad Constitutional Reform

The article reviews Davis's stance on federal law codification by a special commission and the American Bar Association, treaty ratification by majority vote, and immediate transfer of power to new leaders after elections. It notes his defense of liberty, opposition to curbing individual rights, support for a strong supreme court, and describes his tall stature, broad shoulders, and distinctive white hair.
