On the Proposition to Amend the Constitution of the United States: Respecting the Election of President and Vice President; Delivered in the House of Representatives; March 29, 1826 Mr. Hoffman, of New York, rose, and addressed the Committee as follows: Mr. Chairman: On this important subject, I should prefer to remain silent. It is most easy; and that indisposition, which has prevented me from hearing a considerable part of the debate, and the labor of body necessary to speak in this place, make that ease the more desirable. But, the State which I have the honor, ii part, to represent, has, from her extent and population, a great interest in this question. In every part of the debate she has been referred to with the utmost freedom. The judgment she has expressed upon the subject, and which is mine also, weighs heavily with me. Her institutions, her parties, her judgment, her interests, have been misunderstood, and misrepresented. All these circumstances concur, however reluctant I may feel, in obliging me to endeavor to correct the errors into which gentlemen have fallen, in relation to her parties, her institutions, her judgment, and above all, her substantial Interests, in this subject. I must therefore claim- the indulgence of the Committee, while I express my views on the amendments contemplated. In common with all the gentlemen who have preceded me in the debate, I heartily concur in the eulogies pronounced on the framers of the Constitution. They were patriot citizens, and worthy men, and they have done good. I will not praise the dead to censure the living; and I know that their great excellence is best exhibited in their just regard for the rights of person and of property. In framing our political institutions, they earnestly sought to secure to the citizen such political privileges as should forever enable him, beyond the control of any other, to protect his civil liberty. Their good character expresses our duty. We must not shrink from the responsibility of our situation. Like them, we must examine into the state, the condition, and the wants of the society in which we live; and if the advancement of the interest or happiness of the citizens of the States require it, we must propose proper amendments to the Constitution, according to its provisions. We must endeavor to perfect the work they so happily began; and not disappoint the just expectation of our predecessors. But, sir, two objections are interposed to this course.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Saunders, on the Proposition to Amend the Constitution of the United States, Respecting the Election of President and Vice President: Delivered in the House of Representatives, February 24, 1826 The reference of the choice of Electors to the imme diate act of the People, precludes the idea of their apo pointment by any other body; and if it is to be their im mediate act, this can only be affected, as I shall attempt hereafter to shew, through the means of Districts. It is idle to talk of the immediate act of the People, unless they are to vote directly for the President themselves, or for persons, as Electors, whom they know, and in whom they have confidence.

This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Ingersoll, on the Proposition to Amend the Constitution of the United States, Respecting the Election of President and Vice President: Delivered in the House of Representatives, March 6, 1826 The amendment, which took place in the early part of Mr. J efferson's administration, in relation to the election of President and Vice President, did not materially change the federative features of the original article. The republican wisdomof 1804, left those features firm and prominent as they 'were introduced by the wise men of '87. But, sir, the amendment now proposed is aimed. At the root of the federative principle; and f it prevails, the small States, if they are not eventually crushed, will be reduced to mere dots, upon the political map of our country Sir, when I am called upon to revise the grave work of the fathers of this republic, and am reminded that my native State was represented in the Convention by the stern republican virtues of old Roger Sherman, aided by, the powerful eloquencex of William Samuel Johnson, I feel oppressed by the magnitude of the subject on which, I am to act; and cannot but regret that, on thfs occasion, my constituents have not an abler representative in the person of the humble individual who now addresses you. But, sir, I shall not shrink from my duty: for, I believe, if I could ask the People whom I have the honor to represent, what course I should here pursue, they would answer-whatever you may do, remember, Don't give up the ship.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Bryan, on the Proposition to Amend the Constitution of the United States, Respecting the Election of President and Vice-President: Delivered in the House of Representatives, March 13, 1826 I will admit, sir, that, before any amendment is adopt. Ed, its adaptation to the genius and Ipit'it ofthe Govern ment ought to be satisfactorily ascertained: for i' is ob vions that maxims and political reasons, Which would justly be entitled to great weight when applied to a consolidated Government, one and indivisible, such as Britain, or any of the ancient Republics, would be inap. Plicable to a Government compounded as ours is of na. Tiassl and federative features They too often serve to create false analogies. And lead us astray from the true point of inquiry. The checks and balances of t e Bri tlah Constitution are contrived and intended to protect and preserve the king, lords, and commons, who arr all integral parts of the same state - different classes of the same political society. The checks and balanoc s of our Constitution are intended to protect the Union the States, and the People. The States, according to the theory of our Constitution, are independe t members of a confederacy, and are themselves, in many respects.

The by paths to the camp are strictly guarded, but the main avenue to jt is Open and unprotected. The outworks are vigilantly defended, Whilst the citadel is ungarrison ed and invites attack by the facility With which it may be carried. A British House of Commons in the 17th century, triumphed over the crown. The aristocracy, and the People, and erected a despotism on their ruins.
