To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Are they to go unpunished — to be perpetrated with impunity — if, from local partiality or prejudice, a fair trial cannot be had? Gambling houses, cock-fighting, racing, may be fashionable amusements, though prohibited by law. The law is violated — the offence of constant occur- rence — the whole country sanctions it, deem the prohibition tyrannical and put it at defiance. Has the State no right to enforce it? No^ says the perpetrator — no, says our modern jurist. The right to punish is gone, b...ecause the power to punish, from the very prevalence and fashion of the crime, does not exist. A trial can only be constitutionally had in the county or district Avhere the offence is committed, and there it cannot be had, as there all are offenders, and they will not sanction or suffer its punishment.
What do we know has occurred? The United States, by the very letter of the Constitution, are authorized to pro- hibit, by punishment, the African slave trade. They are also empowered, in order to preserve the peace of the coun- try, and maintain its honor, to restrain our citizens from warring upon other nations Avith whom we are at peace.
