Randolph desired Covernmsl much
like that which the present English House
Of Commons would b. wit ont q monarch
or an hsredtcry house. The legislature
elected by the people Of tn -ev-rai Stotss
was to be under the Constitution. AZ in
tsrprsted BY the Judic.sry-crsa-or Of all
other pOwer= Il was b elect, from men
nominated by the State Legislatures, their

RandOlph's Republic was thus a democ-
racy subjected TO successive dltrations.

nation was 90 pass through refining critl.

Despite the pleadings Of Randolph aud
prayers % Franklin, the convention &C
cepted the frame which the Virginlans

leader, only o. establish within Il q system
which the small philosophical wing re-
gartled a. anti-republican. Randolph's
brilliant career In the convention, could Il
have been observed by the outside world,
would have filed the country with snthu-
siasm. Some Of his sentences became
proverbs In the convention. "Presi-
dency Is the fetus Of monarchy"
"An Executive should be independent;
therefore IL should consist Of more
than one man." ave have made q bold
stroke for monarchy; now we are doing
the same for aristOcracy." The latter Vas
said on the proposal that the Executive.
II no choice were reached by the State
electors, should be chosen hv the Senate.
