with a quoteclude from john dickinson. john dickinson was, this was his constitution in so many ways. this gets back to the point i made before that we have a written constitution rather than an unwritten constitution. people asked me why the founding fathers are important, we have founding fathers who wrote it and ratified it. this is why we should listen to them. during the philadelphia , he said this. experience must be our only guide. reason may mislead us. it was not reason that discovered the mechanism of the english constitution. it was not reason that odd mode of trial by jury. this, then, is our guide. he is saying that we have a which experience has proven through understanding of history. experience proves that what we are trying to do in this document would be the best form of government. that is what they wanted to do. they did not want something torn asunder and taken apart. they had just gone through a war with the british, they did not work -- they did not want another. they hoped that a general government

barry dickinson said several time that the facts surrounding mr. lock are not all out there. >> this is a human resources matter. i cannot speak to the facts related to the case. as such, and i want to be clear. there are no facts. >> reporter: dickinson wouldn't expand but his colleague said this about an alleged suspension without pay. >> by law, no individual employee of the school district can be suspended without pay. any suspension by statue has to be with pay. >> reporter: which are east student lauren criticized the timeline of a district plan to create safer schools >> while i understand the 2020 plans will be in place. i take more media action with the cherry hill police force. >> reporter: parents came out to echo the thoughts of their children. they want to give the district a chance. >> i believe it's important for everyone to listen and to share ideas. but also i think it's minority for people to come to meetings, as i mentioned this is my first one. and i'm going to admit it. >> reporter: i heard that from a lot of parents. they've n

john dickinson who is for the constitution said this. he wrote, the president will be no dictator because he is removable and punishable for misbehavior. and their definition of misbehavior was very loose and if they were abusing their authority, that was misbehavior. you can get rid of a president. you can't get rid of the king. the president is not hereditary. one of the most interesting arguments for the president, for the executive branch, came from south carolina. charles pinckney, who was an ardent supporter of the constitution -- in fact, he wrote one of the original drafts -- said you don't have to worry about the president because his powers are so circumscribed, he can't go beyond them. if it does not say the president can do it in the constitution, he can't do it. there are no powers beyond what it says. but that's not how we think of the president today. it does not matter which political party you are talking about, presidents tend to think of their powers as more expansive than that. but perhaps the final exclamation point
