Side 75 - Resolved, that the National Legislature ought to be empowered to enjoy the legislative rights vested in Congress by the Confederation ; and moreover to legislate in all cases to which the separate States • are incompetent...
Side 75 - It is too probable that no plan we propose will be adopted. Perhaps another dreadful conflict is to be sustained. If, to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disapprove, how can we afterward defend our work ? Let us raise a standard to which the wise and the honest can repair ; the event is in the hand of God.
