Storrs swept down upon Macduffie's hasty assertion that the Constitu- tion was aimed simply at ascertaining the popular voice in the election of President. The pure demo- cratic principle was to be found in no branch of the government, not even in the House of Representa- tives. The nation was based upon a mixed principle, in which the rights of independent States were com- mingled with those of the people at large. And then came a cutting proposition to the Southern gentle- man, who, in his en...thusiasm for pure democracy, was disposed to sink the rights guaranteed to the States as separate communities.
