Change
"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."
