The reference to the veto ' possessed by the tri

doubtedly aeeompfisbed for tbe glory ot Ancient

gument for nefliueation fs briefly as follows. Tbe
only, sovereigns known to our institution, sre the
people of the several Ssstea. They created the
separate State govern meets and the general gov
ern ment, which are co-ordinate and equ-1, alike
supreme, the one over reserved and the other
over delegated powers. If one of these baa the
right of determining the extent of it. own powers,
so must tbe other. This argament result, in re,
duemg to tbe absurd the elaiai; for k ia manifest
that .be difference of judgment can be determined
only, by, brute force. It reault. then that if a
State denies ibe exercise of a particular right to the
General Govern menl-.-ibat right is abeyance .
that is, it is nullified. . The ealy remedy (sod he
think. af perfect ' one) is the power of amend
ment; a power, for the very purpose of compell
ing ihe a ubmissioa of a refractory Stale, eotrua
