You are now where you stood fifty years ago, this very hour, with your brothers and your neighbors, shoulder to shoulder, in the strife for your country. Behold, how altered!

الصفحة 127 - Therefore a particular act of the legislature to confiscate the goods of Titius, or to attaint him of high treason, does not enter into the idea of a municipal law ; for the operation of this act is spent upon Titius only, and has no relation to the community in general ; it is rather a sentence than a law.
الصفحة 418 - I hold it to be a popular government, erected by the people ; those who administer it, responsible to the people; and itself capable of being amended and modified, just as the people may choose it should be.
