I am sure such a law would not be constitutional. but I would like to see a law that would place a requirement on every Member of the Senate and the House of Representatives to study American history and to study the history of England. Why? Because not only was England the mother country of our early forebears for the most partBenjamin Franklins father was an immigrant from England. Robert Morris. the financier of the Revolution was from England. and James Wilson. one of the delegates of the Convention on the Constitution from Pennsylvania. was born in Scotland. What I am saying is that every Member of this body ought to have a greater appreciation of the American Constitution.
