Number 11.
THE Constitution is the firft and
supreme law of the land. It ia
that law which calls into existence every
organ of government. It is a guide to
the governors, as well as to the govern
ed ; it serves to lhew the firft the extent
ot their power, and to point out to tl/?
people, when they have overleaped the
bounds of delegated author tv. II the
constitution does not perfectly aniwer
those ends, it is not fuftkiently expres
sive. There is 119 human inllitution
that will not weaken under the impref
fionoftime. Its decay must be more
rapid, when the ambition of one, and
the paflions of many, fliall add to this na
tural imperfedlion. Montefquie fays,
that the Jaws should be peculiarly severe
against those vices, molf prevalent in any
country ; so should the fundamental
principles of all enlightened countries,
be molt watchful of that organ of its go
vernment, which is liable to ofiend
against the others; or to make encroach
ments upon the retained rights of the
people. As we firft ltated the
dve and executive departments under
our present fyltem, are the only depart
ments that canatt wrong with impunity ;
we will then examine, from which of
those we have molf danger to dread.
The members of our national legislature,
are appointed, either by the people at
large, by the, individual states, or by
their representatives. They are per
sonally known ; they are not fufheient
ly exalted to borrow afliftance from
that veneration and refpeft, with which
power inverts men. Add to this, that
emulation which will ever prevail, in
our senate and house of repreientatives,
and we need not dread any thing iron*
this branch of our government. T hey
may be the instruments, but they can
never be the principals.
The executive of the United Stares,
is that power, which without fome
change in our constitution, will oreday
enguiph the liberties of the people*
The people are increasing in wealth,
luxury will effeminate them ; a love of
money will expel from their minds the
love of liberty. The influence of the
molt popular characters, are generally
confined to their own states; it requires
an accumulation of circumstances, to
raise a man to the dignity of Preiident.
When once seated in that situation, hi#
influence in the government will r.ecef
farily create friends ; his adherents
and dependants are scattered in different
situations, and under difterent names,
from New-Hamplhire to Georgia.—
The opponent of the man in office, must
encounter a thousand difficulties to trans
plant him ; difficulties that will not ap
pear by merely reflecting upon elections
carried on thro’ the different States in
dividually. There both parties are
known, their merits may be weighed.
Suppose that a man from Mdflachufetts,
was now to propose himfelf as a candi
date for the Presidency ; he can be
but little known to the electors of the
southern states : consequently there
would be but little probability ofhis suc
ceeding.
It is by flow and imperceptible chan
ges in our government that the liberties
of the people are tobe subverted. G rear
revolutions are not now the effects of a
Angle aCt. The independency of the
United States of America was growing
into birth from the year 1762. The
monarchy of France was verging to an
end from the minority of Louis the XV.
If that article of our Constitution, which
regulates the appointment ofa President,
had forbidden his re-election, perhaps
nothing then could have deprived us of
our retained rights. But as our consti
tution now Hands, we eleCl a President
for life. A much refpeCted man, from
the confidence reposed m him by the peo
ple, will receive, or, unreceivd, will ex
ecute a considerable portion ot that pow
er which is delegated to the other bran
ches of government. His successor in
office be ne who, or what he may, will
exercise the fame powers : Thus errors
become fanftioned ; thus a door is open
ed for abuse toenter ; that gradually de
-1 ftroys the ftatc. When these circum
