Even the doctrine of the pouvoir constituant is inconceivable as a mere mechanistic rationalism. The people, the nation, the Urkraft of all state essence, always constitutes new organs. From out of the infinite, abysmal Abgrund of its power arise ever new forms, which it can always break and in which its power is never definitively limited."
