There can be little doubt that a majority of the people did not favor the Constitution when adopted by the Convention and ratified by the States.
No man ever bore public honors with so meek a dignity ...
These had power To charm through life and cheer his dying hour.
To Marshall reared--the great, the good, the wise; Born for all ages, honored in all skies; His was the fame to mortals rarely given, Begun on earth, but fixed in aim on heaven.
