Quote of the Day: 17 September 2019

“The proposed constitution, therefore, even when tested by the rules laid down by its antagonists, is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both. In its ordinary powers of the government are drawn, it is partly federal, and partly national; in the operation of these powers, it is national, and finally, in the authoritative mode of introducing amendments, it is neither wholly federal, nor wholly national.” -James Madison, The Federalist No. 39
