dissent.

MR. SACHS: You are going to have dissent on

3

many provisions of the Constitution, but the ones in-

4

volving civil rights, what I'm trying to say is that

5

there you can be pretty sure that the Constitution will

6

not be adopted. Now, I may be wrong.

MR. SYKES: I would like to make one practical

8

suggestion which kind of illustrates some of the problems

9

we have been talking about. I want to guard against it

10

being taken out of context, so I say in the record that

11

it shouldn't be taken out of context. It can only be

12

understood in connection with the entire discussion; but,

14

for the really fine drafting of provisions like the ones

15

you are talking about, I would suggest that you will find

17

of Soviet Socialist Republics, and you have very beauti-

18

ful provisions about religious freedom, freedom to work,"

19

civil liberties and so on. If you are going to write

20

them, they are a very good source for drafting.

21

MR. BURGESS: I have a suggestion, if I may.
