Excerpt from Studies in Constitutional History The Essays here gathered are "Studies" which have been pursued while preparing the lectures on Constitutional Jurisprudence and History which have been given during the past eighteen years before the College of Law in the University of Minnesota. Search for the principles which lay at the foundation of this Constitutional History seemed imperatively necessary to a proper understanding of the history. Inquiry into the sources of these principles has led to the opinion, which further inquiry has deepened into a conviction, that the fundamental incidents, the great events recognized as turning points in history were providentially controlled, and that one consistent purpose runs through all modern history. That purpose has been abundant manifested in American History, and not less than elsewhere in its constitutional aspects, always guiding, often controlling, and sometimes overruling the well meant plans of men. The prudent Pilgrims, inspired to undertake a new experiment in statehood, were diverted from their first carefully selected destination, and were forced to make their landing on a stern and rockbound coast."
