Note 1022 — Chapter VIII
Reading edition
Judge Francis M. Finch, in Dillon, i, 402.
"The men who framed that instrument [Constitution] remembered the crimes that had been perpetrated under the pretence of justice; for the most part they had been traitors themselves, and having risked their necks under the law they feared despotism and arbitrary power more than they feared treason." (Adams: U.S. iii, 468.)
