But when our constitution was adopt- ed there was no reason for any such caution wiih legard to the rights and duties, in this parUcuIar, of the several states compos- ing ihis confederacy. In each of them, even before the adoption of the constitution, crimes were accurately defined, and penalties, were neither arbitrary nor uncertain; all accusations were public ; trials were in the face of the world; torture was unknown, and every delinquent was judged of by his peers against whom he could fo...r.ii no exception even of personal dislike. That constitu- tion was adopted by those states in order to form a more jjerfect union; to establish justice; ensure domestic tranquillity; provide for the common defence, and promote the general welfare. And by its provisions, which are the supreme law of the land, it guaran- tees to every state in the union a republican form of government. It provides iliat ih>^ trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeach- ment, shall be by jury; that such trial shall be in the state where the crime was coimnilted; that no person shall bs held to answer for •a capital or otherwise infauions crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury; that no person shall be subject, for the same offence, to be twice put in jeopardy ol his life or limb, nor shall he compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himspll"i nor be depi ived of life, liberty or property Vi'ithout due process ot law; that excessive bail shall noi be required; nor excessive fines imposed; nor cruel and unusual punishments in- j3icted.
