If we compare our prevent system with
the old confederation, which all ackoowl
edge to liaye Urea federal in its character,
we shall find that it possesses all the attri
butes which belong to that form of govetn-
meot. as full; and completely as that did.
In fact, in tku particular, there is bnt a
single dilf' ranee, and that not essential
us isgards t"e pcit-t immediately under
consideration, though srry important in
other respects. The confr icmtiori was
the act of the State Governments, and
formed an Uoinn of governments ■ The
present Constitution is the act of the
States themselves, or, which is the same
thing, of the people of the several Slates,
and Inrms an union of them as sovereig
this purpose they have ratified the een-
pa. t ip tlicir sovereign capacity, thereby
malting it tile constitution of each atalo, in
no wiae'ilistiaguithed from (heir own ae
pnrate constitution, but in the auperadded
obligation of couipsct—of faith mutually
pledged to each other. In this compact
they have stipulatcd.amongst other things
that it may be amended by three-fourths
of the states; that is, they have conceded
to each other, by compact,the right to add
new powrs or to subtract old,by the con
sent of that proportion of the suits, with
out requiring, as otherwihe would be the
case, the consent of nil—a modification no
more inconsistent, as has been supposed,
with their soreieignty than any other con
tained in the compact. In fact the pro
vision to which 1 allude, furnishes
strong evidence that the sovereignty is,
as I contend, in the states severally;
as the amendments are effected not by
any one three-fourths, but by any three-
fourths of the states, indicating that the
sovereignty is in each of the states.
If these views be correct, it follows as a
matter of course, that the allegiance of
the people is to their several States, and
that treason consists in r«»iaUuce ;

powers, on wfSt principle can ths same
'ight be withheld from the State Govern
ments, which as well ae the General Gov
eminent, properly considered, are but de
part manta of tht - tame general syatem,
and form together properly speaking, but department. But the proper answer to
one Government This was a favorite
idea of a man for whose wisdom I have
a respect increasing with my experience,
nod whom I have frequently heard say
that :r.cst{cf:hc »«*l «rmn
in relation to our syatem, originated to
forgetting that they were but parts of the
same system. I would further tell the
Senator, that if this right be withheld
form the state governments; if this restain
ing influence by which the General Gov
ernment is coerced to its proper sphere be
withdrawn, then that department of the
Government from which he has with
held the right of judging of its own pow
cm [the Kxecutive] will so far from being
exclnded. become the sole interpreter of
the powers of the Government. It is the
armed interpreter, with powers to exe
cute its own construction, and without
the aid of*!*ich. •*»* rnnsrruction of the
joint authority of the State» United, not | departments will be impotent.
as hat been absurdly contended, io resis
tance to the Government of the United
Stars, which hy the provision of the
constitution, has only the right of pun
ishing.
These conclusions have all a most im
communities The Stoles, previous to portaot ..earing on that monstrous and
the adoption of the Constitution, were as despotic bill, which, to the disgrace of

separate and distinct political bodies as the Senate and the age, has passed this
the government which represent* tnem, body. I b .ve stills right thus to apeak
•nd them is nothing in the nature of
thing* to prevent them from uniting un
der a compact, in a federal Union, with*
out being blended in one mass, any more
than uniting the governments themselves,
in like manner without merging (hem in a
single Government. To illustrate what I
have stated, by reference to ordinary
transaction*, th- confederacy was a con
tract between agents—the present Consti
tution between the principals themselves :
or to take a more analogous case, one
U ;; leasts'* m.v'e *»y »mb «*s.idor*: the oth
er a 1*^600 made by sovereigns-the lat
ter no more tending to unite t*ie parties
into a single sovereignty than the former.
The only ilifleicnee is in the solemnity
of the act and the force of the obhga
tion.
There indeed rcsnl’s h important
difference under our theory of Govern
trient, ns to the nature and character of
the act itself, whether executec by the
States themselves, or by their govern
ments; but*result, as I have already sta
ted. not at all affecting the question under
consideration, but which will throw much
light on a subject, in relation to which I
most think the Senator from Massarhn
setts has formed vety confused concep
Cions.
The Senator dwelt much on the point,
iufiliU present system tee * .#••••(•(■,»;nn
and t Government in Contradistinction to
the old confederation, with a view ofptov
log 'hat the Constitution w-t* not a com
pile. Sow. I concede III riir ovuaiui,
that our present system is a Constitution
and a Government—and that the former,
th* old eon'e.leraiion,was not a Consritu
tion or gov-mmeot: not. however, for
the reason which he assigned, that the
former was a compact, and the latter nut;
but from the difference of the origin ftom
•-which the tfi compacts are derived.—
According io our American conception,
the peopte .done can toim < (institutions
or Governments, and not their agents It
is this difference, and this alone, which
make* the distinction. Had the old coo
fedet anon been the act of the people of
the seveial State*. and n *t of their Gov
ern entr. that instrument, imperfect as
it is. would have a Constitution, sod
the agency.which it created to execute its
power*, a government. This is th* -true
cause of the diffetence, between tbo two
sets, and not that in which the Senatoi
see n* to be i*wiltl-red
Thsre is another point, on which this
difference throws important light, and
wh»*di has bee i frequently referred to in
d*’ Mtc on this nmi former occasions. I
refer to the expression io the preamble of
th-»iitut»-d. which speaksof "form
iog .nor*? perfect Union," and in the let
ter ,,f General Washington, laying the
dra ight of the invention before the old
Congress in which lie speak* of 'consoli
dating the Mao;" both or which I con
ceiveto refer simply to the fact, that, the
|»re*»*»d -» A.r. ad; stated, is an U
ninn between the state* thems-lvrs, and
not an Uni n, like that which had existed
between the governments of the states,
We will now proceed to consider some
of the conclusions, which urcrssarily I d
low »rnm the facts and (>«*in ns already
established. They enable us to decidr a
question of vital importance under our
•ysiem: Where does sovereignty smile?
If I have *:<cce 'ded in establishing the
fact that ours is a federal system, as I con
ceive I conclusively have, that fact ,.fjt
•elf determines the question which I hav>
proposed. If is • f the very essence of such
a system, that the sovereignty is in the
paits. and nut in the whole; or. to use the
Ung'Mge i»f Mr. P.ilgrave,tn» part* are the
units in sneh a system, and the multiple,
at d nut the whole the units and the ports
the fr u tions Ours, then, is a Govern
ntent of twenty four sovereignties, united
by t constitutional compact, for the pur
pose »f exercising certain powers through
a CoMimon Government, a* their joint *.
gent:—in t not an union of the twenty
four Bovereigniies into one, *lu<*h accord
ing t<» rhe language of the Virginia reso
Itftioos. already cited, would firm a con
■slid it:nn. And here I must express my
•urpits* to the .Senator from Vtigioio.thai
lie should avow liimse f the advocate of
these very resolution*, when lie distinctly
maintains the idea ot an union of the
•t*ie« in »no sovereignty, which is ex
pressly condemned by those resolutions,
as the essence of a consolidated Govern*
merit
Another consequence, which was equal
ly clear that whatover modifications were
liisde io the constitution nf the states, un
der tils present constitution were modifi
cations extending only to the exercise ol
their pnwits by compact, and not to the
sevctelfuty itself, sad are such as sover
sign* are competent to make; it b ing a
conceded point, that it is competent to
them to stipulate to exercise their powers
!• a particular manner, or to abstain alto
gather Iro n then exercise, or'to delegate
them te agents, without, in any degree,
impairing sovereignty itself. The plain
. state of the facts, as regards*oar govern
ment, is, that these states have agreed, by
Compact, to exercise their sovereign pow
' ers jointly, u already suied, aod that, for
raised above the authority ol rite aover
•ign parties to the codsiiiutUo, the de
cisions of die other de£er*mehts, not car
ried by the forms ol the constitution be
fore the Judiciary, must be equally au
thoritative and final with decisions ol that
without violating the rules of order,
is not yet a law. These conclusions
show that the States can violate no law;
that they neither are, nor in the nature
of things can be, under the dominion of
the law; that the worst thnt can be im
puted to them, is a violation of co npact,
for which they and not their citizen*,
are responsible; and that to undertake to
punish a State, by law, or to hold the
citizens responsible for the acts ot the
ritatr, which they are on their allegiance
bound to obey, and liable to he punish
ed as traitors for uisuuev in*. »• a «.«uc!ty
unheard of among c ivilized nations; and
destructive of every principle upon which
onr government is founded. It is, in
short a ruthless and complete revolution
ofotir entire system
I was desirous to present these views
fully. b*-fors the passage of this long Pi
be lamented bill; but as I was prevented
hy the majority, as I have stated, at the
nmencement of my reoiarks, I trust
that it is not yet too late
Having now said what I attended in
relation to my first resolution, both in re
ply to the Senator from Massachusetts,
and in viniii- atiogj of its correctnffM, I
ill now proceed to consider the copclu-
sions drawn from it in the second reso
lotion: that the General Government is
not exclusive and finally judge ol the
power delegated to tr, nut mat me states
s parties to the compart, have a right
to judge, io the last resort, of tho infrac
of the rnmiiact. and of the mode and
measures of redress.
It c m scarcely he neeftssnry. before so
enlightened i body, to premise, that oor
system comprehends two distinct govern
ni nts—the General nod ritai-*Govern
ments. which, properly considered, form
but one. The former, representing tho
joint authority of the States in their con
federate capacity; and the latter, that of
each State separately. I have premised
this fact, simply with a view of present
ing distinctly the answer t.» the argument
offered by the Senator from MhimcIiu
setts, to prove that the General Govern
meat has s final and exclusive right to
judge, not only of its delegated powers,
but also of those tesenred to the states
That gentleman relies for his maio ar
gument. on the assertion, that a Govern
moot, which he defines to be an organ
ized body endowed with both will and
power, and authority in propria vigare, to
execute its purpose, lias a right inherent
ly to judge of its powers. It is not my io
Utiiioa to rommea: upon the definition nf
the Senator, though it would not be diffi
cult to show that his ideas of Governmem
■re not very American %ly object is t«
deat with the conclusion and not the deft
oifinn. Admit, then that the Government
has the right of j dging ol its ;>owers, Io*
which it conteods. Ilow then will he
withhold, upon his own principle, tii*>
right of judging from the state govern
ntent, which he ba* attributed to the ge
neral government ? if it belongs to on*
on his principle, it belongs to uoth—an i
if to boti. if they differ, tne veto so ab
horred by tbo Senator, is the necessary
rouit; as •oiilh- r. if the righrbe possess
ml by both, can control the other.
The H’nator felt the forte of this ar
gument. and in order to sustain his main
position, he fiel back on that clause of
the Constitu'ion, which provides, that
this c nsftlution,..od the laws made in pur
•uance thereof.shall be the supreme iar,
of the land."
This is admitted; no oae has ever de
nied that the Constitution, and the laws
made in pursuance of it,are of paramount
authority. But it is eqo illv undeniable,
that laws nof made in pursuance, ire not
only not of paramount authority, tint
are i.f no authority whatever: being of
themselves null and void; which presents
the que-uiun, who are to judge whether
the laws be or be not puraqsnt to the
Constitution; and thus the difficulty, in
stead of being tak**n away is removed
but uoe step farther back. This ths
Hen itoralso lelt. and lias attempted to
overcome the difficulty.by seting up on the
pan of Gongress aod the Judiciary, the
fiual and exclusive right nf judging, both
for the Federal Government ffhd the
states, as to the exten of ttyeir/powers.
Chat I may do full justice to the gentle
man, 1 will give his doctrine in hit own
words, lie states:
"That there is ■ supreme law, com-
p •*»! of the Gonstitutu n, the laws passed
io pursuance of it. and the treaties; but
in '*s-es coming before Congress, not as*
Burning the shape of cates in law and
equity, so as to be subjects of judicial
discussion. Congress must interpret the
Constitution st often as it has occ »sion
to pass laws; and in cases capable of
assuming* judicial shape, the Supreme
Courtroust he the final interpreter."
Now passing over this vague and loose
phraseology, I would ask the Senator,
upon what principle can he concede this
extensive powet to the Legislative and ju
dicial «tv part moots,and withhold it en irely
from the executive 1 If one has the right.
But I coutend that the states have a far
clearer right to the sole construction of
their powets than any of tho departments
of the Federal Government can have—
this power is expressly reserved, as I had
stated on another occasion, not only a
gainst the several departments of iue Ge
neral Government,but against the U.Statee
themselves. 1 will not repeat the argu
ments which I then offered on this point,
and which remain unanswered,but 1 must
be permitted to offer strong additional
proof ol the views then taken; and which
if I atn not mistaken, are conclusive on
this point It is drawn from the ratifica
tion of the Constitution by Virgini», and
is in the following words. Mr. C. then
read as follows—
"Wc.tlte delegates of the people of Vir
ginia, duly elected in pursuance of a re
commendation Irotn the General Assem
bly, and now met in Convention, having
fully and Ireely investigated and discussed
tl»c proceeding! of F ederal conven
tion, and being prepared, as well as the
most mature deliberation bath eoabled
us to deride thereon—do, in the name
and in behalf of the people of Virginia, de
clare and tnako known, that the powers
granted under the constitution.b^iog do-
may he resit ted hy them, whensoever
the same shall be perverted to their inju
ry or oppression,aod that every power not
granted thereby, remains with them, and
at their will that therefore no right of any
denomination can be cancelled,abridged,
restrained, or modified by the Congress,
hy the Senate or House of Represents
tivesi acting in any capacity, hy rite Pres
ident, or any department, or officer of tho
United ritates. except in those instances
in which power is given by the constitu
this objection is, that the resolution of the
General Assembly relates to these great
and extraordinary cases, in which all the
forms of the constitution may prove in
effectual against infractions dangerous to
the essential rights ol the patties to it.—
The resolution supposes that dangerouv
powers not delegated, may not only be u-
surp *d and executed by the other depart
ments, but that the Judicial department,
also, may exercise or sanction dangerous
powers beyond the grant of the constitu
tion; and, consequently, that the ultimate
right of the parties to ths constitution to
judge whether the compact was danger
ously violated, must extend to violations
by one delegated authority, as well as by
another; by the Judiciary, as well ai by
iheExecutivc or Legislative."
The Senator also relies upon the au
thority of Luther Martin to the tame point,
to which 1 have already replied so fully,
on another occasion, fin answer to the
Senator from Delaware, Mr. Clayton.) that
I do not deom it necessary to add any
further remarks on the present occa
sion.
But why should I waste words in reply
to these ot any other authorities, when it
has been so clearly established, that the
rights of the states are reserved against all
and every department of the Government,
that no authority, in opposition, can pos
sibly shake a position so well established
Nor do I think it necessary to repeat the
argument which I offered, when the bill
was under discussion, to show that the
clause in the constitution, which provides
that the judicial power shall extend to all
cases in law and equity arising under
this constitution, and to the laws and
treaties made under its authority, has
no hearing on the paint in c introver-
sy; and that even the boasted (rower
of the Supreme Court to decide a law
to be unconstitutional, so far from be
ing derived Irom tilts nr any other puitiuu
of the constitution.results from the neces
sity of the ease —where two rules of one
qual authority come, in conflict—and it a
power belonging to all couits, superior
and infetior, state and gancral, domestic
and foreign.

which Mr. Madson was the author* It
says:
