To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In spite of all that has beensaid, I maintain that sovereignty is in its nature indivisible. It isthe supreme power in a State, and we might just as well speak of half asquare, or half of a triangle, as of half a sovereignty. It is a grosserror to confound the *exercise* of sovereign powers with *sovereignty*itself, or the *delegation* of such powers with the *surrender* ofthem. A sovereign may delegate his powers to be exercised by as manyagents as he may think proper, under such conditions an...d with suchlimitations as he may impose; but to surrender any portion of hissovereignty to another is to annihilate the whole. The Senator fromDelaware (Mr. Clayton) calls this metaphysical reasoning, which he sayshe cannot comprehend. If by metaphysics he means that scholasticrefinement which makes distinctions without difference, no one can holdit in more utter contempt than I do; but if, on the contrary, he meansthe power of analysis and combination--that power which reduces themost complex idea into its elements, which traces causes to their firstprinciple, and, by the power of generalization and combination, unitesthe whole in one harmonious system--then, so far from deservingcontempt, it is the highest attribute of the human mind.
