WASHINGTON REPORT TRANSMITTING TIE
CONSTITUTION TO CONGRESS.
In Conrcntion, September. II 1857.
Sir--We hive now the honor to submit to
the consideration Of the United States, in
Congress assembled, that Constitution which
has appeared to us the most advisable.
The ficrdS Of our country have long seen
ard desired, that the power Of making war.
peace and treaties. that of lcvyng money,
md regulating commerce. and the corrcspon-
dent executive and jud,ca authorities. should
he fully and ,ilcc,ually vested in the General
Government Of the Union ; but the impropri.
ETY. OF dclcealing such extensive trust to any
one body Of men. is evident. Hence results
the necessity of different organization.
1t is obviously impractirablc, in the Fed
eral Government Of these States, TO secure all
rights of independent sovereignty to each, and
yet provide for the interest and safety of ALL
Individuals entering into society must give
up share OF liberty to preserve the rest
The magnitude Of the sacrifice must deptnd
as well on situation and circumstances, rs on
the object to be Obtained. 1t is at all times
difficult to draw with precision the line
between those rights which must be surIcnd.
cred and those which may he reserved: and
on the present occasion this difficulty was
increased by difference amoug the several
States. as TO their situation. extent, habits.
and particular interests.
In all our deliberations on this subject. we
kept steadily in our view that which appears
to as the gren'eSt interest oftvery true Amer.
fcan, the consolidation Of our Union, in which
is involved our prosperity, felicity. safety.
and perhaps our national existence. This
important consideration. seriously and deeply
Impressed on our minds, led each State in the
Convention to be less rigid on points of
inf rlor magnitude. than what might have
been otherwise expected, and thus The Con.
s'itution which we now present. is the result
OF concession, which the popularity of our
political situation rendered indispensable.
That 1t vii. meet The full and entire ammo.
baton OF every State is not, perhaps, to be
expected : hut each will doubtless consider
that, had her interest alone been consulted
the consequences might have been particular.
