There is no power given by the con-

Under "A government founded OF
consent and opiiAo;I, evils are TO be-
borne as lo"g as possible.


The states IN virtue of their so,cr-
eighty, when evils are no longer sup
portable, mus, judge the evil and the
remedy.


The sovereign knows nut two modes
of settling controversies, negotiation
and war.


Negotiation admits arbitration, and
may be referred to 9th
er states, but this is b, cossen. and not
by the constitution. 1t is of course not
permissible to one Of the parties, to
refer it to its own courts and jurIes.
When states cease to have an inte-
est in the union, or suffer extreme op-
preston. it is better that they with
draw peaccably, than that blood should
be shed in contests, which seldom de-
eide any thing. and which are apt to
separate the parties forever.
As states may do very imprudentl,
and unw iscly what they have right
to do. it becomes them to act very de-
Iliberately and cautiously. because it is
lawful for ether states to unite against
them. to compel a fulflment Of their
obligations under the public law
