To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I acknowledge the very high authority of the hon- orable Senator ; but I want to ask again, and gentlemen may answer it or not, whether there is or is not such a thing as sovereignty, the power to com- mand, and the power to make laws? It strikes me that there is. Well, if such a thing existed over this territory before it was ceded by France, if it did exist there Avhen the territory was ceded to the United States of America, did or did not the sovereignty pass with the territory ? It ceased i...n France. Did it become extinct, or did it live and pass to the United States ? If it passed to the United States, it passed to the people of the United States. Sovereignty — what is not granted by the Constitution — is in the people. All sovereignty with us is in the people. They parted with none, except in the form of the Constitution. If it existed in the people, to whom do the people delegate that sovereignty ? How do they exercise that sovereignty? Why, sir, they delegate it to the officers of the Constitution, whom the Constitution made; to the Congress of the United States, and the President of the United States.
