do upon nearly every subject of civil polity and
jurisdiction, it necessarily follows that they are
scarcely inferior in Importance to the Constitution
which they defend, and the laws which they ex-
plain. They not only set forth the political econo-

ernment, and the rules and regulations enforced
in its administration, but they also define the
powers and duties, and, in many instances, the
compensation of its civil and military officers
