1897

[Letter to the editor.]
In: De Telegraaf 5 (1897), no. 1572, April 21, 1897.
Dated: Amsterdam, April 19, 1897.

Second of two letters to De Telegraaf on the conflict between the Transvaal parliament and the Transvaal Supreme Court. Printed under the heading “Volksraad en Hooggerechtshof” [People’s Council and Supreme Court].
In this letter Kuyper reacted to I.A. Levy (1836-1920), who had, in De Telegraaf of April 16, attacked Kuyper’s last letter. According to Levy Kuyper’s argumentation was confusing. It was in Transvaal not the people but the state that had interfered in the juridical sphere. According to Levy one could speak of abuse of power by the Transvaal government. Kuyper argued in his reaction to Levy that the idea that the judges of the Supreme Court were deemed unimpeachable was based on the Transvaal constitution of 1858. However, this constitution had according to Kuyper not the power of a real constitution because it was not clear how it could be changed. Levy reacted April 24, stating that Kuyper was wrong about the constitution. Kuyper did not react again.
