To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The delegates who formed the constitution itself were not elected by citizens of the United States with a legal and fixed domicil in California, and a large portion of those who voted for its ratification were laboring under the same disability. The Constitution of the Unit- ed States, wherever it speaks of federal numbers, looks to citizenship and domicil. The citi- zens of one Stale cannot be enumerated in another. Citizens domiciled in one State cannot vole for members of Congress in another.... To maintain the reverse would be to overthrow the entire representative theory of the Government, and destroy the State system. The people of Ohio have no power, under the Constitution, to permit the citizen. ? of Kentucky to be enumerated or vote for President or members of Congress in that State. If they had this power, the federal slave basis could be transferred to the free States, and the same federal numbers counted in dif- ferent States. The exercise of the right of suftraije touching federal rights, under our system, cannot be separated from domicil.
