eracy, under which we have 30 long prospered, was
TO guarantee the independence Of the several
States, and to limit and define the powers Of this
government Mankind had had experience in
former times that 1t was necessary to prescribe the
limits Of oil governments; and when they said the

up in this country consolidated government, whilst
they wentfor the independence Of the United States

distinctly the rights Of the several States Of this
