"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions.
But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind.
As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new
truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances,
institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well
require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy
as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their
barbarous ancestors."
