Findley: Sovereignty. Vat. p. 9. 19. Locke, on Gov. [II] c. 13 [chapter XIII] . There is but one supreme power, viz., the legislative; but it is accompanied with a trust, and there is still an inherent right and power in the people for self-preservation. But this inherent power can never be exercised, till the government be dissolved. Confederation. p. 11. 2. 10.
Mont. b. 9. c. 1 [I, 185-871 . Confederate Republic. There should have been a council of advice to the President responsible - to their conduct. The Senate and President may make a monarchy. The power of regulating elections includes the power of elections.1 It is not unreasonable to suppose that this system may be made better.
