"Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a FEDERAL, and not a NATIONAL constitution." | Quote by: | James Madison
(1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President |
