The Michigan Constitution and its Legislative Folly
A critique of Michigan's early 19th century governance, arguing that repeated codes and revisions bred chaos and inefficiency. The piece laments profligate legislation, explains how biennial sessions could curb excess, and calls for a return to simple, practical governance grounded in constitutional realism. It contrasts government with common-sense administration and warns against ceremonial powers inflated by rhetoric.
