It argues against claims that three fourths in Convention are required to ratify amendments and defends federal and state powers, urging adherence to the Constitution and warning of arbitrary state control.

He compares a paper constitution to a land deed, insisting rights require action to be enforceable and that minorities have remedies if rights are violated. The discussion promises further examination in a future issue.

The event honors Hamilton and portrays national division as a pivotal crisis for the Union.
A polemic condemns the tariff system as a colonial-subjection mechanism that concentrates power in commercial nations and burdens the South.
