520			_a"With the recent failure of the French and Dutch votes on the European constitution, it's going to be harder than ever to see that we are witnessing one of the most extraordinary developments in recorded history. Only 60 years after the exhaustion and bitterness of World War II, 25 nations of Europe have almost fully yoked themselves together under a single encompassing charter. What's more, the boundaries of the nations so close to placing themselves within a single constitutional regime are almost precisely those of Catholic Christendom in the middle ages seven centuries ago." (HISTORY NEWS SERVICE) The author discusses the failure of Europeans to accept a single constitution and opines that Europeans' failure to "look to the U.S. Constitution for guidance...[and] follow some of the Framers' ways has been a costly mistake."
