He believes the , German charter adopted at Wiemar lacks essential elasticity, with ro spect to the federative rights of the Individual states, an evil which, in his opinion, the drafters of the Amer- jcan Constitution skillfully avoid. Count Lirchenteld considers paragraph 48 of the German const fution, which was a compromise clause, is capable of being interpreted too liberally, and that it will there- fore likely become a constant menace in the central government's dealings with the federated states.
