Which two statements describe the storyteller's
viewpoint on rowing other people to freedom?
Well, I did it. Oh, it was a long rowin time in the cold,
with me worryin. But pretty soon I see a light way up
high. Then I remembered the woman told me to watch
for a light. Told me to row to the light, which is what I
did. And when I got to it, there were two men. They
reached down and grabbed the girl. Then one of the men
took me by the arm. Said, "You about hungry?" And if he
hadn't been holdin me, I would of fell out of that rowboat.
Well, that was my first trip. I was scared for a long time
after that. But pretty soon I got over it, as other folks
asked me to take them across the river. Two and three at
a time, I'd take them. I got used to makin three or four
trips every month.

1787. the constitution is a legal document, and it is enforced judicially; but its meaning was hardly fixed when it

was ratified. in particular, the contemporary president has

far broader powers than the original constitution contemplated. it is remarkable but true that large-scale changes in

the authority of the president have been brought about

without changes in the constitutional text, but nevertheless

without significant illegality.

this is a paradox. is it not clear that constitutional

changes, if not textual, are illegal? the paradox has considerable relevance to our current thinking about the presidency in particular and about constitutionalism in general.

perhaps the framers of the american constitution feared

legislative power most of all; 2 but from well-known events

in the twentieth century, it is possible to conclude that it is

presidential power that holds out the greatest risks to both

liberty and democracy. the president is by far the most visible leader in the nation; he is often the only person in government with a national constituency. moreover, he is
