To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They purport to be, not only the official opinions of the General Assembly, but a legislative act, sanctioned by the three departments of the Government, and, like all other laws, subject to be enforced by the Executive. Strange, how- ever, as it may appear, these resolutions, though forwarded to me by the Executive, are incomplete, for the want of his signature and ap* proval. I might, upon the reception of them, had I have been disposed to turn this question upon a quibble rather than to have... it tried upon its merits, have transmitted them back to the Executive as a mere legis- lative nothing. But with all their imperfections, the resolutions con- tained principles too grave to have met with this reception. Why was it that the Governor refused his signature to the above resolutions? The political opinions expressed in them did not differ from his own. I can conceive no other reason than that he believed he had no power 14 to give, by his signature and approval, authority to demands on me, which the Legislature had no right to make.
