My Political Curiosity, Exclusive Of My Anxious Solicitude For The Public Welfare, Leads Me To Ask Who Authorized Them (the Framers Of The Constitution) To Speak The Language Of 'we, The People,' Instead Of 'we, The States'?

Bad Men Cannot Make Good Citizens. A Vitiated State Of Morals, A Corrupted Public Conscience Are Incompatible With Freedom.

There Is A Just God Who Presides Over The Destinies Of Nations, And Who Will Raise Up Friends To Fight Our Battles For Us.

Shall We Gather Strength By Irresolution And Inaction?

Have We The Means Of Resisting Disciplined Armies, When Our Only Defense, The Militia, Is Put In The Hands Of Congress? Of What Service Would Militia Be To You When, Most Probably, You Will Not Have A Single Musket In The State? For, As Arms Are To Be Provided By Congress, They May Or May Not Provide Them.
