The General Government thereunder was powerless to enforce a solitary measure of diplomacy, legislation, war or any other pecu- liar policy of its own counter to the wishes of the several States. It was formed by the States, was responsible to, and acted through, the States — had no sanction whatever for its laws, and no hold upon individuals. The national ruin to which the country was rapidly tending under the Confed- eration led the people of the several States to disenthrall themselves from ...its suicidal sway by the formation of our present Constitution ; and the grand idea which underlaid all the deliberations for that end was to establish a national government independent of the States, with an absolute possession of separate and supreme power, responsible alone to the people — a government of individuals, and not of State corporations. The preamble of our national char- ter asserts this principle in the outset : " We, the people of the United States," etc. etc. Thus constituted by the people a distinct, separate and independent entity of itself, it is a unit, and consequently inseparable and indissoluble, except by means of absolute force — by revolution.
