Author Description

Excerpt from Report, 1916 I am going to present to you, gentlemen, a synthesis of the re forms to which I refer, so as to give you a short, clear idea of the principles which have guided me, for thus you will be able to appreciate whether or not I have reached the object for which I aimed, and you will also then be able to learn what you have to do in order to duly fulfill your task. It being the object of all governments to protect and help each individual, that is to say, each of the units. Which form the nation, it is unquestionable that the first requisite to be fulfilled by a political constitution must be the protection of individuals granted with as much pre cision and clarity as is adaptable to human liberty in all its direct and necessary manifestations, as they constitute the personality of man.
