Constitut. Code Ch. 5
The efficacy of the laws depends on its -
My has been to the it subject than pretend in a
more effectual manner
Note here how different and disparate – how heterogenous
with reference to each other – are the subject matters
of the two laws thus lumped together in company
with so many others in the same clause of the same section
of the same article. Note the confusion of mind – the want
of sufficient attention: Note, in a word, the mode of precipitation,
betrayed by a excluded the one item, in a body
of laws, which had for its framers the select quintessence of the
appropriate aptitude in the whole aggregate of all the States.
True it is that in this case the drawing of demarcation
lines was not a work not as in the other case
of interrogation but of necessity. For in this state
the setting be description of the cases in which the
particular States should not legislate and of those in which
the aggregate general government (having authority over all the States)
should not legislate was matter of necessity. Of these examples All thus
these examples were are here brought to show is – the want of that
clearness of conception in that suit of choicest evidence,
to the deficiency in respect of that clearness of conception, without
which, evil is so much more apt than good
to be the result of demarcation lines, having for their object
the prevention of misrule on the part on the part of the
fairly chosen and effectually responsible Agents of the people.
