Tenth Amendment, Powers not delegated
Citizens, States, the Federal Government
Constitutional Discourse, Debate, Dialogue
Pamphlets, Press & Private Correspondence
State Conventions & Popular Campaigns
Grand Inquest for the Nation, its Congress
Rights, responsibilities to judge the merits
I, Citizen of our Republic, ratify its Constitution
Prescribing preventatives against moral contagion
Political system least apt to seat the venal in offices
Citizens live as Citizens vote, their Political Morality
Ethos of the Republic, its Elections, its Democracy
The People, the Sovereigns, our Revolutionary Soul
