" These clauses being in her own Constitution, I say, and it beingunderstood by her that all powers not granted to the United Stateswere reserved to the States, she felt that she was safe in agreeingto the fundamental compact of the Union.
The People and the Commonwealth, of Virginia reasoned differentlyfrom this; and I will not stop to argue whether they did or did notreason more wisely than Massachusetts. They said, We choose to leavenothing doubtful which language can render certain, in a ma...tter ofso much moment. We are laying the foundations of a government, whichwe hope may outlast the Pyramids. We know, from old experience, thatthe depositaries of the popular power are ingenious in the findingof glosses and interpretations to abstract from the popular rights. Let us see to it that this constitution contain such expressrecognitions of the rights of the People as it shall be impossibleto misunderstand. We will write, upon its very front the greatdoctrines of liberty in characters of light, which, like the burningletters in the banqueting-hall of Belshazzar, may blast theeye-balls of whomever shall meditate treason to the democraticrights we have conquered with our blood and our fortunes.
