ICYMI: Is the Constitution more than America’s primary legal document? The idea of a plan of government being contained in a written document is so taken for granted that it is rarely noted and seldom seen as an innovation, argued Jim Ceaser of the University of Virginia during the 2014 annual Walter Berns Constitution Day lecture. Yet, noted Ceaser, during the founding era, the development of a written constitution was counted as a major innovation of great theoretical import.
Given the centrality of public consent at the time, only by accessing a written text could Americans — assembled in different places at different times — exercise their consent. Nonetheless, continued Ceaser, the significance of a written constitution goes beyond this mere requirement: The Constitution assumed the highest authority because the government’s authority derived from it.

Global Assessment Certificate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Global Assessment Certificate program (also known as the GAC, /ʤi: eI si:/, jee-ay-see) is a university preparation and foundation studies program that provides students from mostly non-English-speaking backgrounds with academic knowledge and skills to prepare them for western-style postsecondary study. It is owned and developed by ACT Education Solutions, Ltd. (AES),[1] an international subsidiary of ACT, Inc.[2]
The GAC is recognized for admissions and/or credit transfer purposes by more than 90 universities around the globe, including The University of Iowa,[3][4] LIU Post,[5][6] the University of Idaho,[7][8] Oklahoma State University,[9][10] Southern Oregon University [11][12] (in the United States), Bond,[13][14] La Trobe,[15][16] Macquarie,[17][18] and RMIT [19][20](in Australia) for admissions purposes and is considered an alternative or addition to Year 12 for international students.
The GAC is licensed to teaching centers (known as ‘Approved Teaching Centers’ or ATCs[21]). The program is monitored and moderated by AES staff based at the organization’s regional offices in Shanghai, Jakarta, Singapore, and at the head office in Sydney.[22]
The GAC is the international version of a Certificate IV program, which has been nationally accredited in Australia since 2002. Following accreditation by the Australian Skills Quality Authority,[22] which is valid until May 2017, the Certificate IV in Foundation Studies—Global Assessment is listed on the Australian government’s national vocational training register[23] with course code 10025NAT.
