Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Appeal in Behalf of Louisiana: To the Senate of the United States for the Fulfillment of the Constitutional to Her of a Republican Form of Government; As a State in the Union Senators! Representatives of the Sovereign States of the Union! Constitutional guardians of their rights and liberties! Louisiana, wronged and oppressed: temporarily stripped of her sovereign rights as one of the United States of America, and subjected to the rule of a faction, tyrannically set over her by judicial usurpation, supported by the military forces of the United States, appeals to you this day for justice and redress. She appeals to you in the name of a violated constitution - by the veneration and gratitude you bear the noble ancestors who established our system of free government - by your love of liberty, and of American republican constitutional institutions - by your pledged faith to defend the Constitution of the United States, and by the duty you owe your posterity to transmit to them unimpaired the blessings of liberty - to restore to her the republican form of government to which, in common with every State in the Union, she is entitled by express guaranty of the Constitution of the United States. Cons. U. S. Art. 4, Sec. 4. The last hope of republican government on the continent - founded upon the right of man to govern himself - to choose his own representatives and to be taxed only by them - rests upon your wisdom and patriotism. The eyes of every American are turned upon you. The heart of the nation beats with anxiety for the result of your deliberations and judgment. The Constitution of the United States declares that the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government. The necessity for that guaranty to secure the peace, safety and liberty of the States, and their very existence in the Union, was so clear that the clause was unanimously adopted in the convention that framed the Constitution. The Federalist, with characteristic vigor and eloquence, with all its powers of logic and appropriate historical illustration, enforces its importance and faithful maintenance.
