Even the Senate of Maryland, which had the longest term in the country, had been scarcely able to stem the popular torrent. There was no peril in a long term, because the concurrence of the other branch, and in some measure of the executive, would be necessary in all cases. The Senate was to guard the Constitution against the encroachments... of the executive, who would be apt to form combinations with the demagogues of the popular branch.^ Madison agreed that as the great object was stability, seven years was none too long, and he regretted that there was so little direct experience to guide the Con- vention. The constitution of Maryland alone bore analogy to this part of the plan, yet, in no instance had the Senate of that State created suspicion of danger, though it might have erred occasionally by yielding to the House of Dele- gates.'
