But now suppose this to be a just cause of exclusion
on the ground of inaptitude— what should hinder
these other legislatures from regarding it as
such? Whatever grounds of confidence these
founders of the Constitution could lay claim to—
these same grounds— these objects of their
distrust were and would be in possession of, with
the addition of the claim growing stronger and

time those legislators, whom they held thus cheap,
or thought so little of, and so would be the whole
series of their successors.

have been produced by, and yet not be traceable
to this cause: say, for instance, production of a
needless war: or ill success to any amount in
a needful one.
