If The People Should Elect, They Will

This Magistrate Is Not The King. The People Are The King.

He Asks How The Evil Is To Be Remedied. I Tell Him That There Seems To Be Little Chance For Avoiding The Extremes Of Despotism Or Anarchy; That The Only Ground Of Hope Must Be The Morals Of The People, But That These Are, I Fear, Too Corrupt.

We The People Of The United States, In Order To Form A More Perfect Union, Establish Justice, Insure Domestic Tranquility, Provide For The Common Defense, Promote The General Welfare, And Secure The Blessings Of Liberty To Ourselves And Our Posterity, Do Ordain And Establish This Constitution For The United States Of America.

I Anticipate The Day When To Command Respect In The Remotest Regions It Will Be Sufficient To Say I Am An American. Our Flag Shall Then Wave In Glory Over The Ocean And Our Commerce Feel No Restraint But What Our Own Government May Impose. Happy Thrice Happy Day. Thank God, To Reach This Envied State We Need Only To Will. Yes My Countrymen. Our Destiny Depends On Our Will. But If We Would Stand High On The Record Of Time That Will Must Be Inflexible.

Each State Enjoys Sovereign Power.
