colonies had boon involved In nearly
every European war that had taken
place since tho colonization Of Amer
lea. They resolved TO keep free

wars. They resolved to take away
from any ono man tho power or the
opportunity OF throwing us into war.
~ they provided that only the con.
Grcns OF tho United States should
have the rights TO declare war: they
provided further that treaties should
be- made by tho president. but got
this Iangungc.--by IN. president by
and with IN. advice and consent OF
tho senate OF tho United States. Thnt

with" had n mea ming: and in addi.
tion our constitution further proyid.
cd that two.thirds Of tho senate
mus, concur In tha, treaty ,ft,r a 4,
