Laws are a dead letter without courts to expound and define their true meaning and operation.

The framers of the Constitution were so clear in the federalist papers and elsewhere that they felt an independent judiciary was critical to the success of the nation.

When Jefferson and the Republicans rallied to the Union and to the existing Federalist organization, the fabric of traditional American democracy was almost completely woven.

The whole basis of the Constitution was a restriction of power, and the whole basis of the federalist system was that there was not one sovereign centralized power from which all authority flows.

Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; have in general been as short in their lives as they are violent in their deaths.

Pauline Sept 10th,2012

I may not agree with what you say, Pauline, but I like your style,
And you may cause the Ottawa aristocrats to feel all-hostile,
As premier of Quebec, you want everything in French,
But history denied it to us as we sit here on a bench.

If you eventually get to Ottawa; please ask for a thing or two?
Because we need REFERENDUMS and DEATH WITH DIGNITY too,
Because I think that you are the only one with the guts to do this,
The other premiers are silent or they don't give a shit.

It's obvious the Ottawa aristocrats want nothing to change,
Watch them appointing new senators as if it was prearranged,
The next thing will be a High-Court judge from a very secret list,
He/she will assist and be a federalist conformist extremist.

Abe insisted that God said all men are created equal

at the Gettysburg Address Abe declared the nation
was conceived in Liberty and men are created equal;

James Madison hailed as 'Father of the Constitution'
instrumental in drafting the United States Constitution
champion author of the United States Bill of Rights;

Another Fusion

There's been fierce argument of late
In my vicinitee,
Between the Commonwealth and State,
For I fell out with me.

I am a sturdy Federalist,
A staunch Australian;
And I have waved an angry fist
At me, the States' Rights man.

The argument began like this:
I to myself one night
Remarked: 'There's something sore amiss
That cries to be put right.

'This argument 'twixt Commonwealth
And State must cease, 'tis plain.
'Tis interfering with my health
And rending me in twain.'
