Perhaps with the court's Senate critics in mind, he traced the history of the amendment arguing that it was the original intention of Congress to have the court interpret and enforce its guarantees-Warren said that the court has for too many years had "sole responsibility for giving content and meaning to the broad mandate of the 14th Amendment."

A joint session of the National Assembly will elect the court's 15 judges to six-year terms. Their extensive powers will include the right to interpret the constitution, decide on the dissolution of political parties opposed to the republican form of government, and review all laws, decrees and administrative decisions. Most important, the Supreme Court will appoint all lower-court judges; the positions will no longer be political plums to be awarded by executive whim. Plans...
