Constitutional Code. U.S.Appendix
Features Discarded
Ch. XI. Legislature
§. 1. Composition: House, one. U.S. Senate.

II. The other Another cause of error on this occasion is self-sufficiency;
coupled with distrust or rather forgetfulness of others.

The person thus kept in leading strings who are they?
what is their situation? Not the Electors at large, but the select
few located by those same Electors: that the numbers of the
several particular legislators should in a majority or if not so large
as that of a majority, a number large enough to do mischief
should thus concurr in the choice of another majority or other
such troublesome number rendered unapt or say as yet placed still kept in a
state of inaptitude by relative non-age. But now suppose
this to be a just cause of exclusion on the ground of inaptitude, what
should hinder those other legislators from regarding it as such?
They are chosen Whatsoever grounds of confidence those founders
of the Constitution can could lay claim to, those same grounds those
objects of the distrust were and would be in possession of, with the
addition of the superior claim to afforded by each growing
stronger and stronger by length of experience. Those founders were
they chosen by the people? So were at the same time those legislators
when they held this cheap, or thought so little of and so would be the whole series
of their successors.
