Report oil tlie Constitutional Amend
ment.
READ IN THE SENATE, NOV. 9XII, 1806.
Your Committee luive serious doubts
as to the propriety of discussing the
proposed amendment to the Constitution
of the United States.
They are presented without the au
thority of the Constitution, and it oc
curred to us, that the dignity of Georgia
might be compromised by a considera
tion of the merits of the proposed
amendments: the proper course would
bo to lay them upon the table, or indefi
nitely postpone their consideration with
out debate. We shall depart from this
course only so far as to give the reasons
which, to our minds, forbid discussion
upon the merits of the proposed amend
ments. The argument resolves itself in
to a few simple propositions.
Ist. If Georgia is not a State compo
sing a part of the Federal Government,
known as the Government of the Uni
ted States, amendments to the Constitu
tion of the United States are not prop
erly before this body.
2d. If Georgia is a State, composing
a part oftbe Federal Government known
as the Government of the United States,
then these amendments are not propo
sed according to the requirements of
the Federal Constitution, and are pro
posed in such a manner as forbids this
House from discussing the merits of the
amendments, without an implied surren
der of the rights of the State.
In discussing these propositions, we
shall endeavor to establish,
Ist. That Georgia is a State of the
United States, coequal with all the oth
er States of the Federal Union, and
therefore,"entitled to all the rights and
privileges of any and every other State,
under the Federal Constitution.
2. That the amendments have not
been proposed in either of the methods
required by the Fifth Article of the
Constitution.
We do not propose to discuss wheth
er any political organization except a
State of the Union can constitutionally
consider amendments to the Constitu
tion, because by the fifth article, propo
sed amendments become a part of the
Constitution of the United States when
ratified by the Legislatures of three
fourths of the several States, the one
or the ot her mode qf ratification may be
proposed by Congress. With t-hio cita
tion we shall dismiss what seems to us
a self-evident proposition—ls Georgia
one of the United States —might rest
upon the fact that the Constitutional
amendments proposed have been sub
mitted to the Legislature of Georgia
.for ratification or rejection, hut in view
of the fact that the Itadical party now
dominant at the North, recognized the
status of the seceding States, as States
whenever such recognition is necessary
to a surrender of rights, and denies the
proposition whenever the recognition is
essential to their maintenance. It may
not be out of place to recur to the histo
ry of the Federal Government in order
to define the relation of Georgia to the
several States of the American Union.
Neighboring States certainly have no
inherent right to control the political
condition of each other. This being the
pace, thirteen States, formerly colonies
of Great Britain, formed a political al
liance and established a Government
called the United States of America.—
Georgia was one of the original thir
teen ; certain political powers were del
egated to the General Government, and
certain other powers reserved to the
States respectively. The delegated pow
ers were expressed in a written instru
ment called the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, and the power of the Gener
al Government to legislate in any way
upon the interest of the several States
composing the Union, is derived from
that instrument, either by express grant
or bv necessary implication.
(Georgia was clearly a State when the
Union was formed, for she was one of
the original thirteen States by whom
the Government was created. Georgia,
then, being one of the original States,
never ceased to occupy that relation to
her sister States, unless by the Constitu
tion, (either expressly or implication,)
she has reserved to herself the right to
secede, or vested in the Legislative or
some other department of the Govern
ment the right to reject her.
Did Georgia have the right to secede ?
Georgia supposed that when the Gener
al Government ceased to answer the
purpose of its creation, she had the
right to secede, and did in fact cndeavoi
to withdraw from the Federal Union in
conjunction with ten ofher sister States -
The remaining or non-seceding States
declared the Union to be perpetual and
indivisible, but failing under the Con
stitution to find any power to coerce a
State, Congress resorted to the Bth sec
tion in which the Legislative powers are
defined, wherein the power is given to
the Congress to “suppressinsurrection;”
iind, on the 29th of July, 1861, passed
an act entitled an act to provide for the
•suppression of rebellion against and re
sistance to the laws of the United States,
and to amend an act passed February
-J2 8, 1795,
Under this and similar acts the milita
ry power of the United States was call
ed [forth designedly not against the (
States, but to suppress insurrection by,
the people within the States. The Uni
ted States Government uniformly refused
to recognize the acts of secession as,
Plate acts, but treated them as the acts.
of 1 insurgents rebelling against the au
thority of the States and of the United
States. Under this political aspect of
life case, tio war icas ever declared by
Congress (which is the only power that
could declare war) because a declaration
of war would have recognized the prac
tical right of secession.
The war would have necessarily been
declared against tlie Confederate Govern
ment as a foreign power, and the rela
tions which the States composing the
Confederate Government, would have
been to the United States or remaining
States, when conquered, would have
been entirely dependent upon such
terms as should be embodied in the
Treaty of Peace, which might lie made
between the two contending powers.
Instead of recognizing secession and
declaring war, the Congress of the Uni
ted States passed the Act referred to for
suppressing insurrection whenever,in the
judgment of the President, the laws of
the United States could not be enforced
by the ordinary course ol judicial pro
ceedings.
How long did tlie power of the Pres
ident continue to employ the militia of
the several States and the land and na
val forces of the United States ? So
long as tlie cause which called it into
existence continued, and no longer. —
What was that cause ? This Act, and
all Acts passed by Congress on the sub
ject, declares that it was to suppress an
insurrection when it should he so formi
dable that the laws oftlie United States
could not be enforced by ordinary judi
cial course, and this fact was left to the
judgment of the President, whose duty
it is to see the laws of the country exe
cuted.
The President, by Proclamation, lias
declared tlie rebellion suppressed, that
Peace reigns throughout the United
States, and that the laws can be enforced
by ordinary judicial course. In other
words, that an insurrection did exist on
the part of a portion of the people of
several States of the Union, that the in
surrection has been suppressed, and the
whole people of these States are now
(as a portion of them always have been)
ready to render obedience to the laws of
the Union
No treaty followed the suppression of
the insurrection, because a Government
does not treat with individuals, and the
Government of the United States thro’-
out tlie whole of this contest has refu
sed to treat it as a contest with the
States, and again, because the people
hitherto charged with being ill insur
rection, were citizens of States already
bound together by a compact known as
the Constitution of the United States,
which has never been abrogated or over
thrown, and has lost none of its vitality
by an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow
it, and which is, therefore, now tlie su
; preme law of Georgia. By virtue of its
power, the Congress of the United
States, acting upon the theory of the Ln
; divisibility of the Union, treated the
■ State as a state in the Union. Tlie 2d
i section oftlie article of the Constitution
which declares “representatives and di
rect taxes shall be apportioned among
the several states which may be included
within tlie Union, did, on the sth day
of August, 1801, pass an act “that a di
rect tax of twenty millions he and is
hereby annually laid upon the United
States, and the same shall be apportion
ed to the states respectively in the man
ner following :
The State of Georgia, $554,367 for,
and a proportionate amount to each
State and Territory of tlie United
States, distinguishing as the act States
from territories ; and on the 13 th of July,
1802, bji an act to amend the judicial
system of the United States, the dis
tricts of Soutli Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Florida, were con
stituted the Fifth Circuit oftlie United
States. There are several other acts
passed during the rebellion, deriving
all their force from tlie Constitution,
wherein it denies the legislative power
of Congress over the Slates in the
Union, and which, but for the fact that
these States were regarded as in tlie
Union, would have been wholy inappli
cable so them. The whole theory adop
ted by Congress and the Executive and
maintained throughout the entire war,
was this. The Union is indissoluble,
the practical relation of tlie States to
tlie Federal Government is interrupted
by a rebellion. The whole power of
the Government must be used to sup
press the rebellion, that the States may
be restored to their practical relations
with the Federal Government. Had
the people in the disaffected States re
turned peaceably to their abodes under
the first proclamation, the States would
have been immediately restored to their
practical relations and the result follow
ed whenever the President declared tlie
rebellion suppressed. Whenever tlie
laws could be enforced in the ordinary
judicial course, the Union was restored
and the Constitution proclaimed the
relation of tlie States to the Federal
Government, rendering legislation on
the subject by Congress not only unneces
sary, but unwarranted. We have thus
endeavored to show that the right to
secede is denied by the General Govern
ment, and its construction has been
maintained by the sword, and is sub
mitted to by all the States. lias Con
gress the right to eject a State ? The
power of legislation are defined in the
Bth section, and no power is given to
I Congress to legislate a State out of the
I Union. And, while by the 3d section
i of the 4th Article, Congress may admit
| anew State formed out oftlie territory
| of the United States or foreign territory,
there is no clause of that- instrument
by which Congress or any other pow
'or can transform a State into a Territo
ry. Then as Georgia was one of tlie
original thirteen States which formed
tlie Union, and could neither withdraw
from it nor be legislated out of it, her
Federal relations were only suspended
during the rebellion. She must neces
sarily continue to be one of the United
States, and as such her relation to the
Federal Government and to her sister
States is defined by the Constitution of
the United States. And this relation
cannot be changed, nor the terms of the
Constitution altered in any way, except
in one of the modes provided in the in
strument by the States themselves.
2d. Are these Amendments constitu
tionally proposd ?
By the Fifth Article of the Constitu
tion of the United States, two modes
are presented for proposing Amend
ments—one by application of the legis
latures of two thirds of tlie States to
Congress, the other by a vote of two
thirds of tlie Congress. If proposed
they become amendments when ratified
by the Legislatures of three-fourths of
tlie several States, or by Convention of
three-fourths oftlie States, as the one or
tlie other mode of ratification may be
directed by Congress. Have these
Amendments been proposed by two
thirds ot the Congress of the United
States ?
Georgia in conjunction with her sister
States, by the first section, first article,
of the Constitution, declared that “All
Legislative power herein granted shall
be vested in a Congress of the United
States, which shall consist of a Senate
and House of Representatives.
The Second Section prescribes the
mode of electing members of Congress,
and declares that Georgia shall have at
least three members of the House of
Representatives and two Senators, and
that her Representatives shall he ;n
--creased from time to time on a certain
basis therein named, upon which basis
of representation she is now entitled to
seven members in the Representative
branch. By the Fifth Article it is pro
vided that she shall never be deprived
of her equal suffrage in the Senate with
out her consent.
Then by the Constitution of the United
States, in virtue of which instrument
alone has the Federal Government any
right to interfere with her external or in
ternal political relations,the Senators and
Representatives from Georgia form an
integral part of Congress of the United
States. The same reasoning applies to
the other ten States whose practical
relation to the Federal Government
were for a time interrupted; they were
like Georgia—either original States by
whom the Government was created, or
States since connected upon terms of
equality, under rule prescribed by the
original.
3d. During the war Congress could
be constitutionally convened without
the Representatives of these States, be
cause they were voluntarily absent, and
the States failed to elect Representatives.
It was for this reason that the Amend
ments abolishing slavery were consti
tutionally proposed, and in ratifying
them Georgia yielded to no political
principle ; a material sacrifice was
asked of her, and she laid it as- a- peace
offering on the altar ot our common
country.
Since the organization of the State
Government, Georgia has elected Sena
tors and Representatives ; so has every
other State. They have been arbitrari
ly refused admission to their seats, not
on the ground that the qualification of
the members elected did not conform
to the fourth paragraph, second section,
first article of the Constitution, but be
cause their right of representation was
denied by a portion of the States having
equal but not greater rights than them
selves. They have in fact been forcibly
excluded; and inasmuch as all legisla
tive power granted by the States to
Congress is defined, and tnis power of
exclusion is not among the powers
granted expressly or by implication,
the assemblage at the Capitol of Rep
resentatives from a portion of the States
to the exclusion of the Representatives
of another portion, cannot be a Consti
tutional Congress, when the Represent
ation of each State forms an integral
part oftlie whole.
This Amendment is tendered to Geor
gia for ratification under that power
in the Constitution which authorizes
two-thirds of the Congress to propose
amendments. We have endeavored to
establish that Georgia had a right, in the
first place, as a part of the Congress, to
act upon the question- Shall these
Amendments be proposed ? Every other
excluded State had the same right.
The first Constitutional privilege has
been arbitrarily denied, and therefore
the second should be promptly declined.
Had these Amendments been submit
ted to a Constitutional Congress, they
never would have been proposed to the
States. Two-thirds oftlie whole Con
gress never would have proposed to
eleven States voluntarily to reduce their
political power in the Union, and at the
same time disfranchise a large portion
of. the intellect, integrity and patriotism
of eleven equal States.
Had they been Constitutionally pro
posed, even then the Legislature of
Georgia, acting for itself, never would
or it never will, ratify an Amendment
by which the State will be shorn of
political power and a portion of its best
citizens branded with dishonor.
If we have been successful in estab
lishing our premises, the conclusion
necessarily follows:
That Georgia can only act upon this
question as a State—one oftlie members
oftlie Unite! States Government; that 1
as such State, these Amendments are
not properly before her, not having
been proposed by a Constitutional Con- i
gross; and to act upon them when!
proposed in any other way would be!
to participate in setting aside the Con
stitution, and to establish a precedent
that the mandates of the Constitution
are subordinate to the will oftlie Feder
al Legiflaturq, The evil is directed to
l
. -V i' - K Xw?
Georgia to-4ay; to-morrow in some
other State, when anew party obtain
power. It Was directed with equal force
against Stateß now free from its influ
ence. 'j
In recommending that these Amend-
be rejected for the | reasons
statodj your committee are animated by
no captious spirit.. If material sacrifices
were demanded to promote harmony,
Georgia would in the future, as in the
past, stand ready to make the offering ;
but, ill the opinon of your Committee,
the Btale should not yield her Constitu
tional rights, even though her citizens
may thereby have to endure further
privations. Individual wrongs will pass
away with time ; but the overthrow of
the Constitution is an enduring evil. If
need be let us wait and suffer ; bnt let
history teach the lesson that under the
Constitution, the States of the Union are
coequal, and that any war made to per
petuate the Union in its utmost success,
can only maintain the States in their
original relation to each other.
