It was because the people, as a body, had no voice in making the Constitution. It was be- cause the people in each State, holding in themselves the sov- ereignty of the State, made the Constitution. It was because the States acting together made a Constitution and erected on it a government which they through their own citizens were to conduct, regulate, and have entire control of. It was because the powers committed to the federal government were to be exercised by certain of their own citizen...s to be selected and appointed at stated periods by the States themselves. No re- sistance was made to the withdrawal of that Judicial authority, because there was no separate people, or sovereign, in existence to raise a hand or voice. The only people, or sovereign, or thing that could object, or could speak, was the States, who decided to undo what they had done.
