The inclusion of the term "equity" in the Constitution's phrase "law and equity" does not, I think, mean "that the inflexibility of the law had to be tempered by fairness." (The assertion that it does is copied verbatim from the "Soldier-Statesmen" article listed in the references to this article.)
"Equity" was, I'm pretty sure, being used in the Constitution as a technical legal term, not in its colloquial sense of "fairness." Courts of Equity were a separate system from Courts of Law in English and American practice at the time; the two types of courts heard different types of cases.
I have not changed the text but I'm pretty sure it's incorrect as it stands. Bruce Tindall 20:32, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
