"The most important consequence of marriage is, that the husband
and the wife become in law only one person... Upon this principle
of union, almost all the other legal consequences of marriage
depend. This principle, sublime and refined, deserves to be
viewed and examined on every side."
-- James Wilson (Of the Natural Rights of Individuals, 1792)

Founders' Quote Daily "I acknowledge, in the ordinary course of government, that the
exposition of the laws and Constitution devolves upon the judicial.
But I beg to know upon what principle it can be contended that
any one department draws from the Constitution greater powers
than another in marking out the limits of the powers of the
several departments." -- James Madison (speech in the Congress of the United States,
17 June 1789) Reference: Original Intent, Barton (264); original The Debates
and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States, vol. 1 (520) |
