TO attribute the radical change in government, eff

Jefferson, either 10 excess of taxation or practical
oppression under the Alien and Sediiion Laws
Those, DOUBTLESS, produced great and just excite

"Ihe question of the power Of Congress TO author

CIR words, question whether the people OF this

too much respect for the intellect of my country
