Minorities Have A Right To Appeal To

Minorities Have A Right To Appeal To The Constitution As A Shield Against Such Oppression.

One Great Object Of The Constitution Was To Restrain Majorities From Oppressing Minorities Or Encroaching Upon Their Just Rights.

I Am Heartily Rejoiced That My Term Is So Near Its Close. I Will Soon Cease To Be A Servant And Will Become A Sovereign.

The Constitution Itself, Plainly Written As It Is, The Safeguard Of Our Federative Compact, The Offspring Of Concession And Compromise, Binding Together In The Bonds Of Peace And Union This Great And Increasing Family Of Free And Independent States, Will Be The Chart By Which I Shall Be Directed.

Under The Blessings Of Divine Providence... It Becomes Us, In Humility, To Make Our Devout Acknowledgments To The Supreme Ruler Of The Universe, For The Inestimable Civil And Religious Blessings With Which We Are Favored.
