Part One
The United States is at once a very new nation and a very old nation. It is a new nation compared with many other
countries, and it is new, too, in the sense that it is constantly being renewed by the addition of new elements of
population and of new States. But in other senses it is old. It is the oldest of the "new" nations--the first one to be

made out of an Old World colony. It has the oldest written constitution, the oldest continuous federal system, and the
oldest practice of selfgovernment of any nation.
美国既是一个非常新的国家也是一个非常老的国家。与许多别的国家相比它是一个新的国家。同时，它还因新人口成分和新
州的加入而持续更新，在此意义上，它也是新国家。但是在其它的意义上它是老国家。它是最老的“新”国家——第一个由旧大
陆殖民地脱胎而出的国家。它拥有最古老的成文宪法、最古老的持续的联邦体制以及最古老的民族自治实践。
One of the most interesting features of Americas youth is that the whole of its history belongs in the period
since the invention of the printing press. The whole of its history is, therefore, recorded: indeed, it is safe to say that no
other major nation has so comprehensive a record of its history as has the United States, for events such as those that
are lost in the legendary past of Italy or France or England are part of the printed record of the United States. And the
American record is not only comprehensive; it is immense. It embraces not only the record of the colonial era and of
the Nation since 1776, but of the present fifty States as well, and the intricate network of relationships between States
and Nation. Thus, to take a very elementary example, the reports of the United States Supreme Court fill some 350
volumes, and the reports of some States are almost equally voluminous: the reader who wants to trace the history of
law in America is confronted with over 5,000 stout volumes of legal cases.
