Plumage features constitute a major component of courtship signals.
The once-unthinkable loss of the AAA rating will constitute a further hit to already fragile business and consumer confidence.

The male sex still constitute in many ways the most obstinate vested interest one can find.
God leaves to Man the choice of Forms in Government; and those who constitute one Form, may abrogate it.
