James Madison actually said...

"Supplies of the most essential kinds find their way not only to British ports and British armies at a distance."

"That all violations of the nonimportation act be subjected to adequate penalties."

"The tendency of our commercial and navigation laws in their present state to favor the enemy and thereby prolong the war is more and more developed by experience."

"To these abuses it may be added that illegal importations are openly made with advantage to the violators of the law."
