I like the resonance that the line has.

Yea. The British North American Act.
It's got lovely tidbits of wisdom like this:
[quote]Unless it is otherwise expressed or implied, the Name Canada shall be taken to mean Canada as constituted under this Act.[/quote]
[quote]Canada shall be divided into Four Provinces, named Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick.[/quote]
All in all, it's extremely lame. It's very much a legal document.

The Code of Canon Law is a very legal document but it has some beatiful things in it. For example:

Can. 331 The office uniquely committed by the Lord to Peter, the first of the Apostles, and to be transmitted to his successors, abides in the Bishop of the Church of Rome. He is the head of the College of Bishops, the Vicar of Christ, and the Pastor of the universal Church here on earth. Consequently, by virtue of his office, he has supreme, full, immediate and universal ordinary power in the Church, and he can always freely exercise this power.

There's nothing beautiful about codifying the number of provinces we have, and establishing the process for making more. It's just boring.
Your Declaration of Independence is far more inspiring.

"Armed resistance to oppression by political authority is not legitimate, unless all the following conditions are met: 1) there is certain, grave, and prolonged violation of fundamental rights; 2) all other means of redress have been exhausted; 3) such resistance will not provoke worse disorders; 4) there is well-founded hope of success; and 5) it is impossible reasonably to foresee any better solution." (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2243)

I don't think the American Revolution met those conditions.

You don't think so? Well it would make a good debate. I'm not informed enough to have a legitimate opinion.
It was successful, so that proves #4 right. That's about as far as I can take it.

I should make a thread in the Debate Table about it.

I would love to see where that goes.

I guess we'll see when someone responds.
