To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We shall be left nearly in a state of nature ; or we may find, by our own unhappy experience, that there is a nat- ural and necessary progression from the extreme of anarchy to the extreme of tyranny, and that arbitrary power is easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.^'* ^ Sparks' Life of WasMogtoii, yoI. 8, p. 4$9.— I add an extract from a letter of Mr. Binney, relating to this passage : — " Really, and in point of fact, there was at that time no legai unwn ; it wa...s a voluntary Congress and no more. Besides, the declaration that they were inde- pendent States, is necessarily distributive and several. Independence is predi- cated of the States, and not of the one Slate or government formed by the Union.
No such Union then existed, as in the language of law to constitute a State. The first Treaty with France, 6th February, 1Y78, is between *the most Christian ooNBTrrunoN of the ukitbd states. 25 As to the second meaning of sovereignty, we know, indeed, for history testifies to it on eveiy page, that the colonies exer- cised a very high degree of self-government at the moment in which independence was declared (in some cases even before that period), hut never absolute autonomy.
