- 13 "The Constitution of any government which cannot be regularly amended
- 14 when its defects are experienced, reduces the people to this dilemma-- they must
- 15 either submit to its oppressions, or bring about amendments, more or less, by
- 16 a civil war. Happy this, the country we live in! The Constitution before us,
- 17 if it is adopted, can be altered with as much regularity, and as little
- 18 confusion, as any act of Assembly; not, indeed, quite so easily, which would
- 19 be extremely impolitic, but it is a most happy circumstance, that there is a
- 20 remedy in the system itself for its own fallibility, so that alterations can
- 21 without difficulty be made, agreeable to the general sense of the people."1
