(4 point) Throughout the 1600s, the population of London increased rapidly as people from across Great Britain and the world moved to the city and called it home. How could the city support all these people? A complex infrastructure was needed to accommodate the growing urban population. Throughout the 17th century, London officials built systems to serve people's water, sewage, and electricity needs. In 1609, the city connected 30,000 homes to a new reservoir in hopes of bringing them safer drinking water. Almost 50 years later, in 1662, city officials started a mail delivery system. And four years later, regularly lit streetlamps allowed people to stroll London's main streets at night. London's rising population also brought an increase in traffic. Starting in 1625, people had to get licenses to drive carriages on city streets. Buses also crowded London's streets. Traffic jams were common. For example, in 1661, one Londoner named Samuel Pepys said he was stuck in his carriage in a traffic jam for an hour and a half.

they were ratified in 1787. but in the late twentieth century, those provisions do not mean what they meant in

1787. the constitution is a legal document, and it is enforced judicially; but its meaning was hardly fixed when it

was ratified. in particular, the contemporary president has

far broader powers than the original constitution contemplated. it is remarkable but true that large-scale changes in

the authority of the president have been brought about

without changes in the constitutional text, but nevertheless

without significant illegality.

this is a paradox. is it not clear that constitutional

changes, if not textual, are illegal? the paradox has considerable relevance to our current thinking about the presidency in particular and about constitutionalism in general.

perhaps the framers of the american constitution feared

legislative power most of all; 2 but from well-known events

in the twentieth century, it is possible to conclude that it is

presidential power that holds out the greatest risks to both

liberty and democracy. the president is by far the most visible leader in the nation; he is often the only person in government with a national constituency. moreover, he is
