Here are some leftovers from my reporter’s notebook in recent days.
First, a few tidbits from footnotes that speakers appended to the talks they delivered during the 191st Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
In his general conference talk on the Constitution, President Dallin H. Oaks said, “Today, every nation except three have adopted written constitutions.” He revealed which three in a footnote: “The three countries with unwritten codified constitutions are the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Israel. Each of these has strong traditions of constitutionalism, though the governing provisions are not collected in a single document.”
