Reader's view: Constitution made by compromise

In response to the Nov. 15 letter headlined, “We did not elect Republicans to compromise,” I would like to share a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: “A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.”
The Nov. 15 letter wisely reminded us that our Constitution must be upheld. Let us all remember that our Constitution was forged out of compromise.
