Creating a Legislature
For the leaders of the American Revolution, legislatures were the most important part of any government.

The Virginia Plan, as amended, June 13, 1787
National Archives and Records Administration, Records of the Continental and Confederation Congresses and the Constitutional Convention
On May 29, 1787, Virginia delegate Edmund Randolph proposed what became known as "The Virginia Plan." Written primarily by fellow Virginian James Madison, the plan traced the broad outlines of what would become the U.S. Constitution: a national government consisting of three branches with checks and balances to prevent the abuse of power. In its amended form, this page of Madison's plan shows his ideas for a legislature. It describes 2 houses: one with members elected by the people for 3-year terms and the other composed of older leaders elected by the state legislatures for 7-year terms. Both would use population as a basis for dividing seats among the states.
Report of the Grand Committee, July 5, 1787
National Archives and Records Administration, Records of the Continental and Confederation Congresses and the Constitutional Convention
The Constitutional Convention struggled for weeks over how representatives to a national legislature should be chosen. The report of the Grand Committee, shown here, represented an effort to find a compromise between the positions of the large and small states. On July 16, the convention adopted the "Great Compromise" based on this report. It apportioned representation in the House of Representatives by population. In the Senate, each state would be represented by two senators chosen by the state legislatures.
“It is in the legislatures that the members of a commonwealth are united and combined together into one coherent, living body. This is the seal that gives form, life, and unity to the commonwealth.”
Providence [Rhode Island] Gazette, April 3, 1779
For the leaders of the American Revolution, legislatures were the most important part of any government. It was through legislatures that the people made their will known. When the Federal Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787 to amend the Articles of Confederation, most of the delegates agreed that the legislature should have two houses with greatly expanded powers. There was disagreement, however, over the type of representation. Heavily populated states supported James Madison's efforts to base representation on population alone. Delegates from smaller states supported William Paterson's "New Jersey Plan" that would have given states equal representation in the Congress. Eventually, delegates reached a compromise that provided for a two-house legislature: one with representation based on population elected directly by the people; the other chosen by state legislatures with equal representation for each state.

Township of East Oakland v. Skinner
ERROR to the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of Illinois.
This was an action of assumpsit on fifty-four coupons cut from certain bonds issued by the township of East Oakland, Ill., in payment of its subscription of $75,000 to the capital stock of the Paris and Decatur Railroad Company.
The election authorizing the subscription was held Feb. 1, 1870, and the subscription made Aug. 15 of that year. The bonds bear date April 20, 1871. The other facts and the provisions of the statute applicable to the case are set forth in the opinion of the court.
The case was tried by the court below without a jury, and resulted in a judgment for the plaintiff for $9,207.32 and costs. The township thereupon brought the case here.

Mr. H. S. Greene, Mr. D. T. Littler, and Mr. James C. Robinson, contra.

Township of Fallowfield versus Township of Marlborough.
On Certiorari to Chester, to remove an order and judgment of sessions, for the removal of James Heany.
Exceptions taken to the proceedings below—That it did not appear the pauper had been examined; nor was any reason set forth why he was not: That natural justice required he should be heard before he was removed. And the following cases were cited:—2 Salk. 488. to shew the examination must be by two Justices.—2 Stra. 1092. S. P. And. 238.—Sett. Cas. c. 18.
But it was answered: 1st. That it was not necessary that the examination should appear on the face of the order. Justices are not obliged to set forth evidence, or every little circumstance; that when nothing is set forth which appears to be wrong, the Court will make an intendment in favour of their order. An order to a common intent good. 1 Stra. 211. That it is not necessary to set forth the summons and examination of the party.—1 Stra. 474. 630. 211. 2d. Lord Ray. 1406.
2d. That even if it was necessary, there are words in the order equivalent, viz. on due consideration, which implies due examination—3 Burn. Sess. Cas. Also the words due proof. Also, the words on the examination of Samuel Henry “as otherwise.”
That in the cases from Salkeld, there appeared a defect of examination on the order, it having been taken by one Justice instead of two.
By the Couty.—No case can be shewn, where an order was deemed bad, because the examination did not appear on the face of the order.
Comb. 474. is a book of no great authority, and this case is contradicted by many others.—We are of opinion that it is not necessary that an examination should appear on the face of the order; nor is it necessary that the examination of any person sould be set forth. If any pauper was injured by a removal, the remedy might be ​had here, on information; and though it will not restore him, yet he might have complained to the sessions, where every thing was open.
The order of Sessions confirmed, with costs.

United States Supreme Court
103 U.S. 806
Thompson v. Perrine
ERROR to the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York:
This action was commenced on the first day of May, 1876, by Perrine, against the town of Thompson, a municipal corporation in Sullivan County, New York, for the amount of coupons attached to certain bonds, signed by G. M. Benedict, N. S. Hamilton, and W. H. Cady, county commissioners, and issued by them in the name of the town under date of May 1, 1869. They were purchased by him of Gulick & Van Kleeck, July 20, 1875, he paying cash therefor. Each bond is payable to bearer on the 1st of March, 1899. It recites that it 'is a valid security, being issued by virtue of an act entitled 'An Act to authorize certain towns in the counties of Sullivan and Orange to issue bonds and take stock in any company now organized, or that may hereafter be organized within three years after the passage of this act, for the purpose of building a railroad from the village of Monticello in the county of Sullivan through the towns of Thompson and Forestburgh in said county, and the town of Deerpark in the county of Orange, to Port Jervis, Orange County,' passed May 4, 1868, and of the act amendatory thereof, passed April 1, 1869.' And that the pom ise to pay that sum is 'by virtue and in pursuance of the acts above entitled and referred to, and for value received in the stock of the Monticello and Port Jervis Railway Company.'
Those acts authorized the commissioners who might be appointed, in the mode therein prescribed, on behalf of any town along the route of the proposed road from Monticello to Port Jervis, to borrow, on its credit, such sums of money, not exceeding thirty-three per cent of the valuation of the town, to be ascertained by its assessment rolls for 1867, for a term not exceeding thirty years, at not exceeding seven per cent interest per annum, and 'to execute bonds therefor under their hands and seals,'-such debt not, however, to be contracted, and such bonds not to be issued, until there was obtained the written consent of the majority of the taxpayers, appearing upon the last assessment roll, as shall represent a majority of the taxable property, not including lands owned by non-residents; nor until a certain amount of the capital stock of the company had been subscribed in good faith, and paid, by individuals or corporations. The statute required the fact that the persons so consenting represented the proper number of taxpayers, should be supported by the affidavit of one of the town assessors or the town clerk,-the consent and the affidavit to be filed in the offices of the county and town clerks respectively, a certified copy whereof 'shall be evidence of the facts therein contained and certified in any court of this [that] State, and before any judge or justice thereof.'

# Thompson v. Peter/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
This was a suit brought in September, 1822, on a promise alleged to have been made by the intestate of the defendant, who died in the year 1808. The defendant pleaded non assumpsit, and the statute of limitations, on which pleas issue was joined. By consent of parties a verdict was found for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court, whether the evidence which is stated in a case made by the parties, be sufficient to be left to the jury as evidence of a subsequent acknowledgment, competent to take the case out of the statute of limitations. The Court gave judgment for the defendants, which judgment is now before this Court on a writ of error.
The Court is of opinion that the Circuit Court decided rightly. The original administrator, David Peter, did not acknowledge the debt, but said there were no funds in hand to pay the debts of the testator. This language might be used by a person not intending to give any validity to the claim, and ignorant of its real merits. The conversation with one of the present defendants, George Peter, was still further from being an acknowledgment. Had this even been a suit against the original debtor, these declarations would not have been sufficient to take the case out of the statute. The cases cited from 8 Cranch's hep. 72. and 11 Wheat. Rep. 209. are expressly in point. But this is not a suit against the original debtor. It is brought against his representative, who may have no personal knowledge of the transaction. Declarations against him have never been held to take the promise of a testator or intestate out of the act. Indeed, the contrary has been held.
Judgment affirmed, with costs.

United States Supreme Court
375 U.S. 34
Tipton v. Socony Mobil Oil Company
Mr. Justice HARLAN, dissenting.
I am of the opinion that the petition for certiorari should have been denied in this case, which raises only a question of the admissibility of certain evidence and a ruling of the Court of Appeals that the admission of the evidence, which it thought erroneous, was harmless. See my opinion in Ferguson v. Moore-McCormack Lines, Inc., 352 U.S. 521, 559, 77 S.Ct. 457, 478, 1 L.Ed.2d 511, and the dissenting opinion of Mr. Justice Frankfurter in the same case, id., 352 U.S. at 524, 77 S.Ct. at 458, 1 L.Ed.2d 511.
Since the petition has been granted, I am constrained to say that I am doubtful of the ruling below that evidence probative of the petitioner's belief as to his status as a seaman or drilling employee was irrelevant to the issue of what his status actually was. His belief to be sure did not amount to a demonstration of the fact; but it seems to me sufficiently relevant to be not clearly inadmissible on the issue of his status, to show which was the purpose for which the evidence was offered. In any event, I find no solid reason for disturbing the view of the Court of Appeals that the admission of this evidence in the circumstances of this case did not prejudice the petitioner and was, therefore, harmless error.
Accordingly, while I believe the case is not 'certworthy,' I would affirm the judgment below.

In the harbour, in the island, in the Spanish Seas, Are the tiny white houses and the orange trees, And day-long, night-long, the cool and pleasant breeze Of the steady Trade Winds blowing.
There is the red wine, the nutty Spanish ale, The shuffle of the dancers, the old salt's tale, The squeaking fiddle, and the soughing in the sail Of the steady Trade Winds blowing.
And o' nights there's fire-flies and the yellow moon, And in the ghostly palm-trees the sleepy tune Of the quiet voice calling me, the long low croon Of the steady Trade Winds blowing.
