KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.

In the House Of Representatives., Nor. 10, l795.
The House according to the standing order of the
day, resolved itself into Committee Of the Whole on
the state of the Commonwealth, Mr.. CALDWELL in the
chair.
And after some time spent therein, the Speaker re-
sumcd the chair, and Mr. Caldwell reported that the
Committee had according to ORDER had under consi-
deratlon the Governors address, and had come 10 the
following resolutions thercupon, which he delivered in
at the Clerk table where they twice read and
agreed to by the House:
/. ReSoiead, That the several States composing the
l. States OF America, not united The principle
OF unlimited submission To their General Government,
but that by compact under The style and title of Con
stiiutlon for the T. States and of amendments thereto
they constituted a General Government for special
purposes, delegated TO that Government certain def
mite powers reservng each State to itself, the resu-
airy mass OF right 10 their self-government; and
that whensoever the General Government assumes
undelegaled powers its acts are unauthoritatve void
and Of no force: That this compact each State ac
ceded as State, and is integral party, its States
forming as 10 itself, the other party That the Govern.
ment created ny this compact not made the exclu.
sve or final Judge of the extent Of the powers dele
gated 10 itself since thu; would have made its discre
tlon and not the Constitution, the of lis pow
crs; but that as in all other cases of compact among
parties having no common judge, each party has an
