Abstract

The Constitution of the Unites States has been called a "sheet anchor," a "lighthouse," and "ark of the Covenant," a "beacon," and a "fundamental law." The terms used in the document itself are of necessity abstract - House of Representatives, Senate, President, power, property, due process, life, liberty, and so fourth. they lend themselves to metaphorical and figurative treatment and our orators have taken full advantage of the opportunity.
