The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government. But the Constitution which at any time exists, till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obli- gatory upon all. The very idea of the power and the right of the people to esta- blish government, presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government. — Washmgton' s WrUings, vol. xii, p. 222. It is not speaking too strongly ...to say that the third cha- racteristic I have mentioned, is decisive. It is decisive of the origin of the Farewell Address, whatever may have been the verbal alterations of Hamilton's original draught, or of Hamilton's revision of that draught, or by Washington's BEARING ON QUESTION OF ORIGIN. 95 autograph copy — even attributing all the changes to Wash- ington, and none of them to Hamilton's correction and revision. If a paper of fifty paragraphs is found thus to conform to a paper that preceded it, and especially to one that was written to be the exemplar of it, in corresponding paragraphs, identical subjects and thoughts, and closely in language, though with an occasional difference in words, every reasonable person must say that the first paper was the source of the second.
