Excerpt from Speeches of Joseph Hopkinson and Charles Chauncey, on the Judicial Tenure: Delivered in the Convention of Pennsylvania, for Revising the ConstitutionThe importance of the subject of this debate is undeniable. The construction of the judicial department of the government, so as to se cure for it the requisite learning, integrity and independence, is essential, not only for the just administration of the laws which may be enacted, but of the constitution itself. The judiciary is the great regulating power of the government, it alone has the ability to keep every other power in its place, and preserve the harmonious action of the whole. It is truly unfortunate that on such a subject the committee have not been able to agree on their report, and I deem it a misfortune for myself to differ with the respectable and learned gentlemen who compose the minority of the committee.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
