'They' clothed the federal government with certain
powers ; and reserved 811 others, ihcladitt% their
o vrn sovereignty, to themselves. They gutirde4
their own nghts as States and the rights of the Feo.
p lr by the very limitations which they incorporated
into the federal constitution, whereby the different
departments -of the general government were
checks upou each other. Thatthe majority should
govern is a general 'pririciple, controverted by
ro w; but they must govern according to the con
stitution, and not according to an undefined and
unrestrained discretion, whereby they may oppress
the minority.
The people raf the United States are not blind to
the fact tharthey may be, temporarily misled, and
their representatives, legislative end executive, may
be mistaken or influenced in their action by im•
proper motives. They have therefore interposed
botvren themselves arid the laws which may be
paced by their public • agents, various representa-•
lions, such as assemb'ies, senators, and governors
in their several Stales: a House of Representatives:
a Senate, and a President of the United States. The
people can by their own direct agency make no
law nor can the house of Representatives imme
diately elected by them ; nor can the Senate ' ' nor
can Loth together, without the concurrence of the
President, or a vote of tw,o-thirds of both houses.
Happily for themselves. the people, in framing
our 'admirable system of government, were con
cions of the infirmities of' their representatives;
anal in delegating to them the power of- legislation.
they have fenced them around with checks, to guard
aga.ngt the effects of hasty action of error, of com
bination, and of possible corruption. Error. selfish
tress, and faction have often sought to rend asunder
this web of checks, and subject the geveruntent to
the control of fanatic and sinister influences: bat
the-e ellorts have only sati 4 lied the people of the
q of the cheeks which they have imposed,
and of the necessity lof preserving them unimpair-
of .
The true theory of our system is rot to govern by
the acts or decrees Of any one set of representatives.
The &institution interpose? checks upon all branch.

or to be corrected, and delusion to pass away ; Lnt
it the people settle clown into a firm cenviction dig . -
lerent from that of their represematives. they :give
elleet to their opinions by changing their public
servants. The checks which the people imposed
err their public servants in the adoption of the con
stitution, are the best evidence of their captivity'
for sell government. They know that the own
whom they. elect to public stations are lit the like

cr of tbe"Veice Pr :silent to e - ve the casting vote
:upon an equal division ,ot the .Senate should be

sed by the Vice President in slow ,inslanees. thin
.most important of which was. the reicetion,of the,
bill .o recbarter the bank of the .tinted 4 StateslW
1811. It may happen that a bill .maY,be passed .
by a large majority of the House of Representatives,
and may be supported by the senators from the
larger States, and 'hit Vice President may rvject it
by giving his vote With the senators front the .smal,
ler States ; and yet none,
it is presumed, are m
i pared to deny to him the exercise of the power
under the constitution.
But it is , in point of fart, untrue that an net gass
ed by Congress is conclusive evidence that it is an
emagation of the popular will. A majority of the
whole number elected to each house of Congress
constitutes a quorum is s competent to pass laws. It
might happen that a quorum of the House of Repre-e
sentatives, consisting of a single member more
than half of the whole number elected to that House,
might pass a bill by'a majority of a single vote,
and in that case a fraction more than one-fourth
of the people of tho United States would be re
presented by those who voted for it. It might
happen that the same bill might tae parsed by a
majority of one ; of a quorum of the Senate, corn
,posed of senators from the fifteen smaller Slates,
and a single senator from a sixteenth ,S6te, and if
the senators voting for it happened to.be from the
eight of the smallest of these Stales, it would be
passed by the votes of senators from States having
but fourteen representatives in the House . ol Rep.
resentatives, and containing less than one-sixteenth
of the whole population of the United Slates. This
extreme case is suited to illustrate the fact, that the
mere passage of a bill by Congress is noconclusive
evidence those who passed it represent the tnajori
ty of the people 01 the United States, or truly reflect
their will. If such an extreme case is not likely to
happen, cases that approximate it are of constant
occurreuve. It is bettered that not a single law has
been passed since the adoption'of the constitution,
upon which all the members elected to hold hop
ses have been present and voted. Many of the
mast important acts a hick have been pasted Con
gress have been canied by,a close vote in thin
h, uses. Many instances of this might be given.-
I , ‘deed, our experience proves that many of the
most important acts of Congress are pestponed 10
the last days, and often the last hours of a session,
ben they are disposed of in haste, and by houses
tail little exceeding the number neces,ary to form
a (it/drum.
Besides, in most of the sta'es the menribeis of
t Ins nonse of Representatives are chosen by I lu
rainiest, and net by majorities of all the voters
in their respective districts; and it may happen
that a majority of that House ni •y he returned
by a lesT aggregate vote of the people than that
received by the minority.
If the principle insisted on be sound, then the
constitution should be so ellaurd that no bill
shall become a law unless it is voted for by mem
bers :representing in each House a majority of
the 'whole people.of the United States. We
must remodel our whole.system, strike down and
abolish not only the salutary ehcks lodged io
1 11
the S e nate a lso, and thus practie y invest the
whole power of the government i a majority of
a single assembly— a majority It ontrolled and
absolute, and which may become despotic. To
conform to thisdoetrine of the right of majori
ties to rule, independent of the cheeks and limi
tations of the constitution, we must revolution
ize our whole system. We must destroy the
constitutional compact by which the several
States agreed to form a federal Union,' and rush
into co:4sol.dation, which must end in monar
cliy or despotism. No one advecates such a
preposition ; and yet the doctrine inaiirained,
if carried out, must lead to this result.
One great object of the . constitution in confer
ring uponthe President a qualified negative up
,on the le , r'slation of Congress, was to .prdteet
minorities trom injustice and oppression by ma
jorities The equality- of their representation
in the Senate, and the veto power of the Presi
dent, are the constitutional guaeanties which the
smaller States have that their rights i will be
respected. Without these guaranties, all their
interests would be at the mercy of majorities in
Congress reptesentin e ,o the larger States. Tu
i the smaller and weaker States, therefore, the
preservation ofAllis power, and its exercise up,-
on proper occasions demanding it, is of vital im
portance. They ratified the constitution,, and
m
claed into the Union. , securing: to thernia - i -- eS
an equal representation with the larger States
in the Senate; and they agreed to be bound by
all laws passed by Congress tupon the exriress
condition, and gone other, that they' should' be
i r
mrroved by the President, or passed, his objec
-1 tions to the contrary notwithstanding. lly a vote
of two-thirds of both houses. Upon this condi
tion they have a rightlo insist, as a part of the
compact to which they gave their assent.
A bill might be passed by Congress against
the will of the whole people of a particular State
and against the' votes of its senators and all its
representatives. However prejudicial it might
be to the interest of such State, it would be
bound by kit' the President shall approve it. or
it should be passed by a vote pf two-thirds of
both houSes, 4 but it has a rightito demand ti tat
the President shall exC7eise . his contitutional
power, and arrest it, if his judgment is against
it. IL ho surrender this power, or fail to exer
cise it in a case where he cannot approve, ..it'.
I would make his formal approval a mere mocke
ry, and would be itseifa violation of the &insti
-1 tuticn, and the dissenting State would become
hound by a law whir h Cad not been passed ae-
cording to the sanctions of the constitution.
The objection to the exercise of the veto
power is sounded upon an idea respecting the
popular will, which if carried out, would annihi
late state sovereign'y and substitute fur the pre
sent fedeinl govtirnnient a consolidation, directed
by asupposed niAnerical majority. A revolution
of the government would be silently effected, and.
the States would be subjected to laws to which
they Lad never given their constitutional con
sent.
The Supreme Cunt of the United States is
invested with the power to declare, and has de
clared; acts of Congress passed is ith the concur
rebee of the Benate,the House of Repiosenta
tives, and the apprival of the President, to be;
unconstitutional and void, and yet none, it is.
presumed, eari.be found, who will be disposed to
strip this highest judicial tribunal under the
constitution of this acknowledged power —4
power necessary • alike to its independence and
the r ights of individuals.
for the same reason that the Executive ye-,
to should ac, ending to the doctrine maintained,,
Le. rend - ed nugatory, and be practically expun
ged fro n the constitution, -this Tower .of tub court s ould also ho rendered nugatory and be
expunged, because it restrains the legislative and
executive will, and because the exercise of such
a power by the court may be regarded. as being
in conflict with ,ttm. .eamieity.of the people to
eiern themselves. Indeed, there .is more rea
sfiii. for striking this power of the court from the
constitution than there is that of the qualified
veto of the President; because the deeisitin of
the court is final, and can newer be roversed4 l even
though both houses of Congress and the, Presi
dent should be unanimous in oppokition to it;
wherea.s 'the veto of the Presilleut may be over-
ruled by a rote of two,thirdstof both houses of
Congress, or by the people nt the pens.

branch.
The executive," legislative, and judicial, each
constitutes a separate co-ordinate department
of ;he government; and- each is independent of
the others. In the performatice or their respec
tive duties under the constitution, neither can,
in its le,, ,, itlmate action, control the wile's.—
They each act upon their several responsibilities
in their respective spheres.; bukir the doctrines
now maintained be correct, the executive must
become practically subordinate to the legisla-
five r and the judiciary must become subordinate
to both the legitilative and thus the whole pew
-er of the goverment would he merged in a sin
gle department. Whenever, if ever, tthis shall
ocenr, our glorious system of well regulated self
government will crumble into ruins—to be sue
cceded, first by anarchy, and finally by monar
chy or despotism. lam far from believing that
this doctrine is the sentiment of the American
people; and during the short period Which re
mains in which it will be my duty to adininistei
the executive departmennt, it will be my aim to
maintain its independence, and discharge its do
t:es, w:thout infringing neon the powers or du
ties of either of the other departments of the
government.
The power of the executive veto was exert+ -
cd by the first and must illustrious or my pred
ecessors, and by fiiur of his successors who pre
ceded me in the administration of the govern
ment, and, it is believed, in.no instance prejudi
cially to the pnblie.interests. It has never been,
and there is-but little danger that it ever can be
abused. No President will ever desire, unne
cessarily to place his opi don in opposition to.tlint
of Congre..sS. Ile must always exercise the
power reluctantly, and only in cases where his
convictions make it a matter of stern-duty,
which lie cannot escape. Indeed, there is more
(longer that the President, from the repugniince
lc. must always. feel to come in eollissien with
Congress, may fail to exercise it in cases where
the preservation of the constitution from infrac
tion, or the public good, may demand it, than,
that he will ever exercise it unnecessarily or
wantonly.
During the period I have administered the
executive department of the government. great
and important questions of public policy, foreign
land dmielitic, have arisen, upon which it Was
my duty to act . - It, may indeed be truly said
that my adthinistration has fallen upoc eveutful
times. I have felt most sensibly the weightier
the high eisponsibilities devolved upon me..—
With ho other object than the public good, the
