Iv. two Constructions of the Constitution, Is a common phrase, involving error; opposite interpretations of a written instrument—as Judge Fenner euphemistically puts it. Soon after peace, James L.

ople, as States, are to make all amendments. [Article V.] Each State has suffrage in the Senate, which can never end without her consent. All these provisions of the constitution, especially the last, make obvious both mind in the State and sovereignty in mind. Denying this seat and residence of sovereign will is simple untruth-criminal, if coupled with knowledge.
