| Quote of the moment |
| As a guide in expounding and applying the provisions of the Constitution, the debates and incidental decisions of the Convention can have no authoritative character . . . [T]he legitimate meanings of the Instrument must be derived from the text itself; or if a key is to be sought elsewhere, it must be . . . in the sense attached to it by the people in their respective State Conventions, where it received all the authority which it possesses. |
| ~ Letter to Thomas Ritchie, September 15, 1821 (James Madison, 1865, III, page 228) ~ |
