— Note (a). To this arrangement no objection wearing the face
of a rational one, could ever be made other than that of unpracticability
with internal peace and security no such arrangement can
have place. But in the case of the Anglo American United States the
groundlessness of this objection has been completely demonstrated by
experience: demonstrated by the very first experiment ever
made: which to the purpose of all such persons as had on new
Constitution to make — this same arrangement even upon the
supposition that the experiments made of it had in a considerable
number, al of them failed might still have remained
the only eligible one: for as will be seen below the above
Constitution is one which irresistible force from without
affords a reasonable promise of everlasting endurance: whereas
every other form of government contains in the very essence of
it , the seeds of its own dissolution: a dissolution which sooner
or later can not but have place.
