It is a fact as well authenticated as the settlement of the state, that a Constitution was formed by the people of the then colony of Connecticut, before the Charter of King Charles.
What can a nation or state expect from such men?
Is it not clear that this whole proceeding originates in a pure unmixed affection for the people and a sacred regard to truth?
In the mean time all subordinate tribunals will partake of the same character.--Thus instead of a government of laws, there will be the tyranny of a desperate faction.--Let no one reply that there is no danger of such evils in Connecticut.
