Who, in this free government, is to decide upon the objects of a War, at its commencement, or at any time during its existence ? Does the power be- long to collective wisdom of the Nation in Congress assembled, or is it vested solely in a single functionary of the Government ?
A declaration of War is the highest and most awful exercise of sovereignty. The Convention Avhivh framed our Federal Constitution, had learned from the pages of history that it had been often and greatly abused. It had se...en that War had often been commenced upon the most trifling pretexts ; that it had been frequently Avagcd to establish or exclude a dynasty ; to snatch a crown from the head of one potentate and place it upon the head of another ; that it had often been prosecuted to promote alien and other interests than those of the nation whose chief had proclaimed it, as in the case of Enghsh wars for Hanoverian interests 5 and, in short, that such a vast and tremendous power ought not to be confided to the perilous exercise of one single man.
