Another has, indeed, been started — that of giving up the colonies ; but it met so slight a reception, that I do not think myself obliged to dwell a great while upon it. It is nothing but a little sally of anger, like the frowardness of peevish children,...
Page 38 - Whose prerogative is it to decide on the constitutionality or unconstitutionality of the laws?
Page 97 - In no country, perhaps, in the world is the law so general a study. The profession itself is numerous and powerful ; and in most provinces it takes the lead. The greater number of the deputies sent to the congress were lawyers. But all who read, and most do read, endeavor to obtain some smattering in that science.
Page 169 - Some of you delight to flaunt in our faces the warning against sectional parties given by Washington in his Farewell Address.
