To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Madison's idea. " Each " state shall have at least one representative. Each state shall ic choose a specified number of representatives. Each state tl shall elect representatives in the manner prescribed by its le- " gislature. The representation of each state shall have one " vote in choosing a president. " No language could be more explicit for expressing the fact, that the house of representatives was a representation from each state, and not of an American nation. The distinction between a ...state and a people, upon which Mr. Madison's idea seems to be founded, is contrary to the settled political idiom ; and too feeble to defeat the plain words of the constitution. It has often been correctly said by the best writers, TAYLOR'S VIEWS. 93 that there is no people where there is a despot. Not that there are no men, but no political society, defined by the term people. As a despot annihilates a people, so would a consolidated govern- ment annihilate the people of each state. Upon their rights, the supremacy of a despot, or any other supremacy, would have the same effect.
