To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ought a single State have it in its power to involve the union at any time in war? Under the second head, he said, suppose the subjects of juris- diction had only been enumerated, and full power given to Con- gress to establish courts, would there have been any valid ob- jection ? But the present arrangement was better and more restrictive. As to the objections against the appellate cognizance of fact as well as law, he mainly relied on the arguments and authority of Pendleton, which were concl...usive with him. Con- gress may make a regulation to prevent such appeals entirely. He argued that in so far as the judicial power extended to con- troversies between citizens of different States, it was beneficial to the commercial States, and proportionally to Virginia. He be- lieved that the Legislature would accommodate the judicial power to the necessities of the people, and instead of making the supreme court stationary, will fix it in different parts of the Continent, as was done with the admiralty courts under the Con- federation.
