The Right Of A Nation To Kill

We Electors Have An Important Constitutional Power Placed In Our Hands: We Have A Check Upon Two Branches Of The Legislature, As Each Branch Has Upon The Other Two; The Power I Mean Of Electing At Stated Periods, One Branch, Which Branch Has The Power Of Electing Another. It Becomes Necessary To Every Subject Then, To Be In Some Degree A Statesman: And To Examine And Judge For Himself Of The Tendencies Of Political Principles And Measures.

The Balance Of Power In A Society Accompanies The Balance Of Property In Land.

We Have No Constitution Which Functions In The Absence Of A Moral People

There Never Was Yet A People Who Must Not Have Somebody Or Something To Represent The Dignity Of The State.

I Would Quarrel With Both Parties, And With Every Individual Of Each, Before I Would Subjugate My Understanding, Or Prostitute My Tongue Or Pen To Either.
