+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.

+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,

+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+"""Jev-Style v3: a small Gradio Space for chaoliangUNSW/Jev-Style-0.8B-Decision-v3 on ZeroGPU.
+
+One text, one question, one answer type; the model returns a calibrated probability for every option. The model
+repo's own PyTorch runtime (jev_style_decision.py, float32) does rendering, readout, calibration and token budgets.
+Input is tokenised and budget-checked on CPU before any GPU time is requested, and the GPU request is sized from
+the real token count.
+
+Local run: `python app.py` (spaces.GPU does nothing off Hugging Face; picks CUDA, then Apple MPS, then CPU).
+JEV_MODEL_DIR=<folder> uses a local copy of the model repo; JEV_DEVICE=cuda|mps|cpu forces a device.

+U.S. founding documents (public-domain texts, one bundle)
+
+Part 1. The Declaration of Independence (1776)
+
+IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776
+
+The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
+
+When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people
+to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another,
+and to assume, among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal
+station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them,
+a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should
+declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
+
+We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
+equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
+Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of
+Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted
+among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
+That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these
+ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to
+institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles
+and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most
+likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will
+dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for
+light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown,
+that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,
+than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are
+accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing
+invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under
+absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off
+such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
+--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is
+now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems
+of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a
+history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct
+object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To
+prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
+
+He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for
+the public good.
+
+He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing
+importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should
+be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend
+to them.
+
+He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large
+districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right
+of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and
+formidable to tyrants only.
+
+He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual,
+uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records,
+for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his
+measures.
+
+He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with
+manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
+
+He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause
+others to be elected; whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of
+Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise;
+the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of
+invasion from without, and convulsions within.
+
+He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that
+purpose obstructing the Laws of Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing
+to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the
+conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
+
+He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent
+to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
+
+He has made judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their
+offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
+
+He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of
+Officers to harass our People, and eat out their substance.
+
+He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the
+Consent of our legislatures.
+
+He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to
+the Civil Power.
+
+He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to
+our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to
+their Acts of pretended legislation:
+
+For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
+
+For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders
+which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
+
+For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
+
+For imposing taxes on us without our Consent:
+
+For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
+
+For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
+
+For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring
+Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging
+its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument
+for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
+
+For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and
+altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
+
+For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested
+with Power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
+
+He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection
+and waging War against us.
+
+He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and
+destroyed the lives of our people.
+
+He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries
+to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun
+with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most
+barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the Head of a civilized nation.
+
+He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas
+to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their
+friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
+
+He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured
+to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian
+Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction
+of all ages, sexes and conditions.
+
+In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in
+the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only
+by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every
+act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free
+People.
+
+Nor have We been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have
+warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to
+extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them
+of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have
+appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured
+them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations,
+which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.
+They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.
+We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our
+Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in
+War, in Peace Friends.
+
+We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America,
+in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the
+world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the
+Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and
+declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free
+and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to
+the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and
+the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and
+that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War,
+conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all
+other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for
+the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection
+of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our
+Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
+
+
+Part 2. The Constitution of the United States (1787)
+
+We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,
+establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,
+promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves
+and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the
+United States of America.
+
+
+Article 1
+
+Section 1.  All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a
+Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and
+House of Representatives.
+
+Section 2.  The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members
+chosen every second Year by the People of the several States,
+and the electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite
+for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.
+
+No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the
+Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a citizen of the United States,
+and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which
+he shall be chosen.
+
+Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among
+the several States which may be included within this Union,
+according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined
+by adding to the whole number of free Persons, including those

+three fifths of all other Persons.  The actual Enumeration shall be made
+within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the
+United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years,
+in such Manner as they shall by law Direct.  The number of

+two Senators from each State, chosen by the legislature thereof,
+for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.
+
+Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first Election,
+they shall be divided as equally as may be into three Classes.  The Seats of
+the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the expiration of the
+second Year, of the second Class at the expiration of the fourth Year,
+and of the third Class at the expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third
+may be chosen every second Year; and if vacancies happen by Resignation,
+or otherwise, during the recess of the Legislature of any State,
+the Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the
+next meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies.
+
+No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of
+thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States,
+and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State
+for which he shall be chosen.
+
+The Vice-President of the United States shall be President of the Senate,
+but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.
+
+The Senate shall choose their other Officers, and also a President
+pro tempore, in the Absence of the Vice-President, or when he shall
+exercise the Office of President of the United States.
+
+The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.
+When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation.
+When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice
+shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence
+of two thirds of the Members present.
+
+Judgment in cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal
+from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor,
+Trust or Profit under the United States:  but the Party convicted shall
+nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and
+Punishment, according to Law.
+
+Section 4.  The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and
+Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof;
+but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations,
+except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
+
+The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year,
+and such Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December,
+unless they shall by law appoint a different Day.
+
+
+Section 5.  Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections,
+Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a
+Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business;
+but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day,
+and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members,
+in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.
+
+Each house may determine the Rules of its Proceedings,
+punish its Members for disorderly Behavior, and, with the
+Concurrence of two-thirds, expel a Member.
+

+for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury
+of the United States.  They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and
+Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance
+at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning
+from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House,
+they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

+but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House
+in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections
+at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it.
+If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that house
+shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent,
+together with the Objections, to the other House, by which
+it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds
+of that House, it shall become a law.  But in all such Cases
+the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays,
+and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be
+entered on the Journal of each House respectively.  If any Bill
+shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted)
+after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law,
+in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their
+Adjournment prevent its Return, in which case it shall not be a Law.
+
+Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate
+and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question
+of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States;
+and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him,

+the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules
+and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill.

+
+ARTICLE 2
+
+Section 1.  The executive Power shall be vested in a President
+of the United States of America.  He shall hold his Office during
+the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President
+chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:
+
+Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct,
+a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives
+to which the State may be entitled in the Congress:  but no Senator or
+Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under
+the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
+
+The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot
+for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of
+the same State with themselves.  And they shall make a List of
+all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each;
+which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to
+the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the
+President of the Senate.  The President of the Senate shall,
+in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives,
+open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted.
+The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President,
+if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed;
+and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal
+Number of votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately
+chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have
+a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House
+shall in like Manner chuse the President.  But in chusing the President,
+the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State
+having one Vote; a Quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member
+or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the
+States shall be necessary to a Choice.  In every Case, after the Choice
+of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of
+the Electors shall be the Vice President.  But if there should remain
+two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them
+by Ballot the Vice President.
+

+Part 4. The Federalist No. 10 (Madison, 1787)
+
+FEDERALIST No. 10
+
+The Same Subject Continued (The Union as a Safeguard Against Domestic
+Faction and Insurrection)
+
+From the Daily Advertiser. Thursday, November 22, 1787.
+
+MADISON
+
+To the People of the State of New York:
+
+AMONG the numerous advantages promised by a well constructed Union, none
+deserves to be more accurately developed than its tendency to break and
+control the violence of faction. The friend of popular governments never
+finds himself so much alarmed for their character and fate, as when he
+contemplates their propensity to this dangerous vice. He will not fail,
+therefore, to set a due value on any plan which, without violating the
+principles to which he is attached, provides a proper cure for it.
+The instability, injustice, and confusion introduced into the public
+councils, have, in truth, been the mortal diseases under which popular
+governments have everywhere perished; as they continue to be the
+favorite and fruitful topics from which the adversaries to liberty
+derive their most specious declamations. The valuable improvements made
+by the American constitutions on the popular models, both ancient
+and modern, cannot certainly be too much admired; but it would be an
+unwarrantable partiality, to contend that they have as effectually
+obviated the danger on this side, as was wished and expected. Complaints
+are everywhere heard from our most considerate and virtuous citizens,
+equally the friends of public and private faith, and of public and
+personal liberty, that our governments are too unstable, that the public
+good is disregarded in the conflicts of rival parties, and that measures
+are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the
+rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested
+and overbearing majority. However anxiously we may wish that these
+complaints had no foundation, the evidence, of known facts will not
+permit us to deny that they are in some degree true. It will be found,
+indeed, on a candid review of our situation, that some of the distresses
+under which we labor have been erroneously charged on the operation
+of our governments; but it will be found, at the same time, that other
+causes will not alone account for many of our heaviest misfortunes;
+and, particularly, for that prevailing and increasing distrust of public
+engagements, and alarm for private rights, which are echoed from one
+end of the continent to the other. These must be chiefly, if not wholly,
+effects of the unsteadiness and injustice with which a factious spirit
+has tainted our public administrations.
+
+By a faction, I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a
+majority or a minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some
+common impulse of passion, or of interest, adversed to the rights of
+other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the
+community.
+
+There are two methods of curing the mischiefs of faction: the one, by
+removing its causes; the other, by controlling its effects.
+
+There are again two methods of removing the causes of faction: the
+one, by destroying the liberty which is essential to its existence; the
+other, by giving to every citizen the same opinions, the same passions,
+and the same interests.
+
+It could never be more truly said than of the first remedy, that it was
+worse than the disease. Liberty is to faction what air is to fire, an
+aliment without which it instantly expires. But it could not be less
+folly to abolish liberty, which is essential to political life, because
+it nourishes faction, than it would be to wish the annihilation of
+air, which is essential to animal life, because it imparts to fire its
+destructive agency.
+
+The second expedient is as impracticable as the first would be unwise.
+As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty
+to exercise it, different opinions will be formed. As long as the
+connection subsists between his reason and his self-love, his opinions
+and his passions will have a reciprocal influence on each other; and the
+former will be objects to which the latter will attach themselves. The
+diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property
+originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of
+interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of
+government. From the protection of different and unequal faculties of
+acquiring property, the possession of different degrees and kinds of
+property immediately results; and from the influence of these on the
+sentiments and views of the respective proprietors, ensues a division of
+the society into different interests and parties.
+
+The latent causes of faction are thus sown in the nature of man; and
+we see them everywhere brought into different degrees of activity,
+according to the different circumstances of civil society. A zeal for
+different opinions concerning religion, concerning government, and many
+other points, as well of speculation as of practice; an attachment to
+different leaders ambitiously contending for pre-eminence and power; or
+to persons of other descriptions whose fortunes have been interesting
+to the human passions, have, in turn, divided mankind into parties,
+inflamed them with mutual animosity, and rendered them much more
+disposed to vex and oppress each other than to co-operate for their
+common good. So strong is this propensity of mankind to fall into mutual
+animosities, that where no substantial occasion presents itself, the
+most frivolous and fanciful distinctions have been sufficient to kindle
+their unfriendly passions and excite their most violent conflicts. But
+the most common and durable source of factions has been the various
+and unequal distribution of property. Those who hold and those who are
+without property have ever formed distinct interests in society.
+Those who are creditors, and those who are debtors, fall under a
+like discrimination. A landed interest, a manufacturing interest, a
+mercantile interest, a moneyed interest, with many lesser interests,
+grow up of necessity in civilized nations, and divide them into
+different classes, actuated by different sentiments and views. The
+regulation of these various and interfering interests forms the
+principal task of modern legislation, and involves the spirit of party
+and faction in the necessary and ordinary operations of the government.
+
+No man is allowed to be a judge in his own cause, because his interest
+would certainly bias his judgment, and, not improbably, corrupt his
+integrity. With equal, nay with greater reason, a body of men are unfit
+to be both judges and parties at the same time; yet what are many of the
+most important acts of legislation, but so many judicial determinations,
+not indeed concerning the rights of single persons, but concerning the
+rights of large bodies of citizens? And what are the different classes
+of legislators but advocates and parties to the causes which they
+determine? Is a law proposed concerning private debts? It is a question
+to which the creditors are parties on one side and the debtors on the
+other. Justice ought to hold the balance between them. Yet the parties
+are, and must be, themselves the judges; and the most numerous party,
+or, in other words, the most powerful faction must be expected to
+prevail. Shall domestic manufactures be encouraged, and in what degree,
+by restrictions on foreign manufactures? are questions which would be
+differently decided by the landed and the manufacturing classes, and
+probably by neither with a sole regard to justice and the public good.
+The apportionment of taxes on the various descriptions of property is
+an act which seems to require the most exact impartiality; yet there is,
+perhaps, no legislative act in which greater opportunity and temptation
+are given to a predominant party to trample on the rules of justice.
+Every shilling with which they overburden the inferior number, is a
+shilling saved to their own pockets.
+
+It is in vain to say that enlightened statesmen will be able to adjust
+these clashing interests, and render them all subservient to the public
+good. Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm. Nor, in many
+cases, can such an adjustment be made at all without taking into view
+indirect and remote considerations, which will rarely prevail over the
+immediate interest which one party may find in disregarding the rights
+of another or the good of the whole.
+
+The inference to which we are brought is, that the CAUSES of faction
+cannot be removed, and that relief is only to be sought in the means of
+controlling its EFFECTS.
+
+If a faction consists of less than a majority, relief is supplied by the
+republican principle, which enables the majority to defeat its sinister
+views by regular vote. It may clog the administration, it may convulse
+the society; but it will be unable to execute and mask its violence
+under the forms of the Constitution. When a majority is included in a
+faction, the form of popular government, on the other hand, enables it
+to sacrifice to its ruling passion or interest both the public good
+and the rights of other citizens. To secure the public good and private
+rights against the danger of such a faction, and at the same time to
+preserve the spirit and the form of popular government, is then the
+great object to which our inquiries are directed. Let me add that it is
+the great desideratum by which this form of government can be rescued
+from the opprobrium under which it has so long labored, and be
+recommended to the esteem and adoption of mankind.
+
+By what means is this object attainable? Evidently by one of two only.
+Either the existence of the same passion or interest in a majority at
+the same time must be prevented, or the majority, having such coexistent
+passion or interest, must be rendered, by their number and local
+situation, unable to concert and carry into effect schemes of
+oppression. If the impulse and the opportunity be suffered to coincide,
+we well know that neither moral nor religious motives can be relied on
+as an adequate control. They are not found to be such on the injustice
+and violence of individuals, and lose their efficacy in proportion to
+the number combined together, that is, in proportion as their efficacy
+becomes needful.
+
+From this view of the subject it may be concluded that a pure democracy,
+by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who
+assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure
+for the mischiefs of faction. A common passion or interest will, in
+almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole; a communication
+and concert result from the form of government itself; and there is
+nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party or an
+obnoxious individual. Hence it is that such democracies have ever
+been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found
+incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have
+in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in
+their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species
+of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to
+a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same
+time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their
+opinions, and their passions.
+
+A republic, by which I mean a government in which the scheme of
+representation takes place, opens a different prospect, and promises
+the cure for which we are seeking. Let us examine the points in which it
+varies from pure democracy, and we shall comprehend both the nature of
+the cure and the efficacy which it must derive from the Union.
+
+The two great points of difference between a democracy and a republic
+are: first, the delegation of the government, in the latter, to a small
+number of citizens elected by the rest; secondly, the greater number of
+citizens, and greater sphere of country, over which the latter may be
+extended.
+
+The effect of the first difference is, on the one hand, to refine and
+enlarge the public views, by passing them through the medium of a chosen
+body of citizens, whose wisdom may best discern the true interest of
+their country, and whose patriotism and love of justice will be least
+likely to sacrifice it to temporary or partial considerations. Under
+such a regulation, it may well happen that the public voice, pronounced
+by the representatives of the people, will be more consonant to the
+public good than if pronounced by the people themselves, convened for
+the purpose. On the other hand, the effect may be inverted. Men of
+factious tempers, of local prejudices, or of sinister designs, may, by
+intrigue, by corruption, or by other means, first obtain the suffrages,
+and then betray the interests, of the people. The question resulting is,
+whether small or extensive republics are more favorable to the election
+of proper guardians of the public weal; and it is clearly decided in
+favor of the latter by two obvious considerations:
+
+In the first place, it is to be remarked that, however small the
+republic may be, the representatives must be raised to a certain number,
+in order to guard against the cabals of a few; and that, however large
+it may be, they must be limited to a certain number, in order to
+guard against the confusion of a multitude. Hence, the number of
+representatives in the two cases not being in proportion to that of
+the two constituents, and being proportionally greater in the small
+republic, it follows that, if the proportion of fit characters be not
+less in the large than in the small republic, the former will present a
+greater option, and consequently a greater probability of a fit choice.
+
+In the next place, as each representative will be chosen by a greater
+number of citizens in the large than in the small republic, it will
+be more difficult for unworthy candidates to practice with success the
+vicious arts by which elections are too often carried; and the suffrages
+of the people being more free, will be more likely to centre in men who
+possess the most attractive merit and the most diffusive and established
+characters.
+
+It must be confessed that in this, as in most other cases, there is a
+mean, on both sides of which inconveniences will be found to lie.
+By enlarging too much the number of electors, you render the
+representatives too little acquainted with all their local circumstances
+and lesser interests; as by reducing it too much, you render him unduly
+attached to these, and too little fit to comprehend and pursue great and
+national objects. The federal Constitution forms a happy combination in
+this respect; the great and aggregate interests being referred to the
+national, the local and particular to the State legislatures.
+
+The other point of difference is, the greater number of citizens
+and extent of territory which may be brought within the compass of
+republican than of democratic government; and it is this circumstance
+principally which renders factious combinations less to be dreaded
+in the former than in the latter. The smaller the society, the fewer
+probably will be the distinct parties and interests composing it; the
+fewer the distinct parties and interests, the more frequently will
+a majority be found of the same party; and the smaller the number of
+individuals composing a majority, and the smaller the compass within
+which they are placed, the more easily will they concert and execute
+their plans of oppression. Extend the sphere, and you take in a greater
+variety of parties and interests; you make it less probable that a
+majority of the whole will have a common motive to invade the rights
+of other citizens; or if such a common motive exists, it will be more
+difficult for all who feel it to discover their own strength, and to act
+in unison with each other. Besides other impediments, it may be remarked
+that, where there is a consciousness of unjust or dishonorable purposes,
+communication is always checked by distrust in proportion to the number
+whose concurrence is necessary.
+
+Hence, it clearly appears, that the same advantage which a republic has
+over a democracy, in controlling the effects of faction, is enjoyed by
+a large over a small republic,--is enjoyed by the Union over the
+States composing it. Does the advantage consist in the substitution of
+representatives whose enlightened views and virtuous sentiments render
+them superior to local prejudices and schemes of injustice? It will not
+be denied that the representation of the Union will be most likely
+to possess these requisite endowments. Does it consist in the greater
+security afforded by a greater variety of parties, against the event of
+any one party being able to outnumber and oppress the rest? In an equal
+degree does the increased variety of parties comprised within the
+Union, increase this security. Does it, in fine, consist in the greater
+obstacles opposed to the concert and accomplishment of the secret wishes
+of an unjust and interested majority? Here, again, the extent of the
+Union gives it the most palpable advantage.
+
+The influence of factious leaders may kindle a flame within their
+particular States, but will be unable to spread a general conflagration
+through the other States. A religious sect may degenerate into a
+political faction in a part of the Confederacy; but the variety of sects
+dispersed over the entire face of it must secure the national councils
+against any danger from that source. A rage for paper money, for an
+abolition of debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other
+improper or wicked project, will be less apt to pervade the whole body
+of the Union than a particular member of it; in the same proportion as
+such a malady is more likely to taint a particular county or district,
+than an entire State.
+
+In the extent and proper structure of the Union, therefore, we behold
+a republican remedy for the diseases most incident to republican
+government. And according to the degree of pleasure and pride we feel
+in being republicans, ought to be our zeal in cherishing the spirit and

+
+To the People of the State of New York:
+
+TO WHAT expedient, then, shall we finally resort, for maintaining in
+practice the necessary partition of power among the several departments,
+as laid down in the Constitution? The only answer that can be given is,
+that as all these exterior provisions are found to be inadequate, the
+defect must be supplied, by so contriving the interior structure of the
+government as that its several constituent parts may, by their mutual
+relations, be the means of keeping each other in their proper places.
+Without presuming to undertake a full development of this important
+idea, I will hazard a few general observations, which may perhaps place
+it in a clearer light, and enable us to form a more correct judgment
+of the principles and structure of the government planned by the
+convention.
+
+In order to lay a due foundation for that separate and distinct exercise
+of the different powers of government, which to a certain extent is
+admitted on all hands to be essential to the preservation of liberty,
+it is evident that each department should have a will of its own; and
+consequently should be so constituted that the members of each should
+have as little agency as possible in the appointment of the members of
+the others. Were this principle rigorously adhered to, it would require
+that all the appointments for the supreme executive, legislative,
+and judiciary magistracies should be drawn from the same fountain of
+authority, the people, through channels having no communication whatever
+with one another. Perhaps such a plan of constructing the several
+departments would be less difficult in practice than it may in
+contemplation appear. Some difficulties, however, and some additional
+expense would attend the execution of it. Some deviations, therefore,
+from the principle must be admitted. In the constitution of the
+judiciary department in particular, it might be inexpedient to insist
+rigorously on the principle: first, because peculiar qualifications
+being essential in the members, the primary consideration ought to be
+to select that mode of choice which best secures these qualifications;
+secondly, because the permanent tenure by which the appointments are
+held in that department, must soon destroy all sense of dependence on
+the authority conferring them.
+
+It is equally evident, that the members of each department should be as
+little dependent as possible on those of the others, for the emoluments
+annexed to their offices. Were the executive magistrate, or the
+judges, not independent of the legislature in this particular, their
+independence in every other would be merely nominal.
+
+But the great security against a gradual concentration of the several
+powers in the same department, consists in giving to those who
+administer each department the necessary constitutional means and
+personal motives to resist encroachments of the others. The provision
+for defense must in this, as in all other cases, be made commensurate to
+the danger of attack. Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The
+interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights
+of the place. It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices
+should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is
+government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature?
+If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to
+govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would
+be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men
+over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the
+government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to
+control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary
+control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the
+necessity of auxiliary precautions.
+
+This policy of supplying, by opposite and rival interests, the defect
+of better motives, might be traced through the whole system of human
+affairs, private as well as public. We see it particularly displayed in
+all the subordinate distributions of power, where the constant aim is to
+divide and arrange the several offices in such a manner as that each may
+be a check on the other--that the private interest of every individual
+may be a sentinel over the public rights. These inventions of prudence
+cannot be less requisite in the distribution of the supreme powers of
+the State.
+
+But it is not possible to give to each department an equal power of
+self-defense. In republican government, the legislative authority
+necessarily predominates. The remedy for this inconveniency is to
+divide the legislature into different branches; and to render them,
+by different modes of election and different principles of action, as
+little connected with each other as the nature of their common functions
+and their common dependence on the society will admit. It may even be
+necessary to guard against dangerous encroachments by still further
+precautions. As the weight of the legislative authority requires that
+it should be thus divided, the weakness of the executive may require, on
+the other hand, that it should be fortified. An absolute negative on the
+legislature appears, at first view, to be the natural defense with
+which the executive magistrate should be armed. But perhaps it would be
+neither altogether safe nor alone sufficient. On ordinary occasions it
+might not be exerted with the requisite firmness, and on extraordinary
+occasions it might be perfidiously abused. May not this defect of an
+absolute negative be supplied by some qualified connection between this
+weaker department and the weaker branch of the stronger department, by
+which the latter may be led to support the constitutional rights of
+the former, without being too much detached from the rights of its own
+department?
+
+If the principles on which these observations are founded be just, as
+I persuade myself they are, and they be applied as a criterion to the
+several State constitutions, and to the federal Constitution it will be
+found that if the latter does not perfectly correspond with them, the
+former are infinitely less able to bear such a test.
+
+There are, moreover, two considerations particularly applicable to the
+federal system of America, which place that system in a very interesting
+point of view.
+
+First. In a single republic, all the power surrendered by the people
+is submitted to the administration of a single government; and the
+usurpations are guarded against by a division of the government into
+distinct and separate departments. In the compound republic of America,
+the power surrendered by the people is first divided between two
+distinct governments, and then the portion allotted to each subdivided
+among distinct and separate departments. Hence a double security arises
+to the rights of the people. The different governments will control each
+other, at the same time that each will be controlled by itself.
+
+Second. It is of great importance in a republic not only to guard the
+society against the oppression of its rulers, but to guard one part of
+the society against the injustice of the other part. Different interests
+necessarily exist in different classes of citizens. If a majority
+be united by a common interest, the rights of the minority will be
+insecure. There are but two methods of providing against this evil:
+the one by creating a will in the community independent of the
+majority--that is, of the society itself; the other, by comprehending in
+the society so many separate descriptions of citizens as will render an
+unjust combination of a majority of the whole very improbable, if not
+impracticable. The first method prevails in all governments possessing
+an hereditary or self-appointed authority. This, at best, is but a
+precarious security; because a power independent of the society may as
+well espouse the unjust views of the major, as the rightful interests
+of the minor party, and may possibly be turned against both parties. The
+second method will be exemplified in the federal republic of the United
+States. Whilst all authority in it will be derived from and dependent
+on the society, the society itself will be broken into so many parts,
+interests, and classes of citizens, that the rights of individuals, or
+of the minority, will be in little danger from interested combinations
+of the majority. In a free government the security for civil rights must
+be the same as that for religious rights. It consists in the one case in
+the multiplicity of interests, and in the other in the multiplicity of
+sects. The degree of security in both cases will depend on the number of
+interests and sects; and this may be presumed to depend on the extent
+of country and number of people comprehended under the same government.
+This view of the subject must particularly recommend a proper federal
+system to all the sincere and considerate friends of republican
+government, since it shows that in exact proportion as the territory of
+the Union may be formed into more circumscribed Confederacies, or States
+oppressive combinations of a majority will be facilitated: the best
+security, under the republican forms, for the rights of every class
+of citizens, will be diminished: and consequently the stability and
+independence of some member of the government, the only other security,
+must be proportionately increased. Justice is the end of government. It
+is the end of civil society. It ever has been and ever will be pursued
+until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit. In a
+society under the forms of which the stronger faction can readily unite
+and oppress the weaker, anarchy may as truly be said to reign as in a
+state of nature, where the weaker individual is not secured against the
+violence of the stronger; and as, in the latter state, even the stronger
+individuals are prompted, by the uncertainty of their condition, to
+submit to a government which may protect the weak as well as themselves;
+so, in the former state, will the more powerful factions or parties be
+gradually induced, by a like motive, to wish for a government which will
+protect all parties, the weaker as well as the more powerful. It can be
+little doubted that if the State of Rhode Island was separated from
+the Confederacy and left to itself, the insecurity of rights under the
+popular form of government within such narrow limits would be displayed
+by such reiterated oppressions of factious majorities that some power
+altogether independent of the people would soon be called for by the
+voice of the very factions whose misrule had proved the necessity of
+it. In the extended republic of the United States, and among the great
+variety of interests, parties, and sects which it embraces, a coalition
+of a majority of the whole society could seldom take place on any other
+principles than those of justice and the general good; whilst there
+being thus less danger to a minor from the will of a major party, there
+must be less pretext, also, to provide for the security of the former,
+by introducing into the government a will not dependent on the latter,
+or, in other words, a will independent of the society itself. It is no
+less certain than it is important, notwithstanding the contrary opinions
+which have been entertained, that the larger the society, provided
+it lie within a practical sphere, the more duly capable it will be of
+self-government. And happily for the REPUBLICAN CAUSE, the practicable
+sphere may be carried to a very great extent, by a judicious
+modification and mixture of the FEDERAL PRINCIPLE.

+Part 6. The Federalist No. 78 (Hamilton, 1788)
+
+FEDERALIST No. 78
+
+The Judiciary Department
+
+From McLEAN'S Edition, New York. Wednesday, May 28, 1788
+
+HAMILTON
+
+To the People of the State of New York:
+
+WE PROCEED now to an examination of the judiciary department of the
+proposed government.
+
+In unfolding the defects of the existing Confederation, the utility and
+necessity of a federal judicature have been clearly pointed out. It is
+the less necessary to recapitulate the considerations there urged, as
+the propriety of the institution in the abstract is not disputed; the
+only questions which have been raised being relative to the manner of
+constituting it, and to its extent. To these points, therefore, our
+observations shall be confined.
+
+The manner of constituting it seems to embrace these several objects:
+1st. The mode of appointing the judges. 2d. The tenure by which they
+are to hold their places. 3d. The partition of the judiciary authority
+between different courts, and their relations to each other.
+
+First. As to the mode of appointing the judges; this is the same with
+that of appointing the officers of the Union in general, and has been so
+fully discussed in the two last numbers, that nothing can be said here
+which would not be useless repetition.
+
+Second. As to the tenure by which the judges are to hold their places;
+this chiefly concerns their duration in office; the provisions for their
+support; the precautions for their responsibility.
+
+According to the plan of the convention, all judges who may be appointed
+by the United States are to hold their offices during good behavior;
+which is conformable to the most approved of the State constitutions and
+among the rest, to that of this State. Its propriety having been drawn
+into question by the adversaries of that plan, is no light symptom
+of the rage for objection, which disorders their imaginations and
+judgments. The standard of good behavior for the continuance in office
+of the judicial magistracy, is certainly one of the most valuable of the
+modern improvements in the practice of government. In a monarchy it is
+an excellent barrier to the despotism of the prince; in a republic it is
+a no less excellent barrier to the encroachments and oppressions of the
+representative body. And it is the best expedient which can be
+devised in any government, to secure a steady, upright, and impartial
+administration of the laws.
+
+Whoever attentively considers the different departments of power must
+perceive, that, in a government in which they are separated from each
+other, the judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be
+the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution; because
+it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them. The Executive
+not only dispenses the honors, but holds the sword of the community.
+The legislature not only commands the purse, but prescribes the rules
+by which the duties and rights of every citizen are to be regulated. The
+judiciary, on the contrary, has no influence over either the sword or
+the purse; no direction either of the strength or of the wealth of the
+society; and can take no active resolution whatever. It may truly be
+said to have neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment; and must
+ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the
+efficacy of its judgments.
+
+This simple view of the matter suggests several important consequences.
+It proves incontestably, that the judiciary is beyond comparison the
+weakest of the three departments of power(1); that it can never attack
+with success either of the other two; and that all possible care is
+requisite to enable it to defend itself against their attacks. It
+equally proves, that though individual oppression may now and then
+proceed from the courts of justice, the general liberty of the people
+can never be endangered from that quarter; I mean so long as the
+judiciary remains truly distinct from both the legislature and the
+Executive. For I agree, that "there is no liberty, if the power of
+judging be not separated from the legislative and executive powers."(2)
+And it proves, in the last place, that as liberty can have nothing to
+fear from the judiciary alone, but would have every thing to fear from
+its union with either of the other departments; that as all the effects
+of such a union must ensue from a dependence of the former on the
+latter, notwithstanding a nominal and apparent separation; that as, from
+the natural feebleness of the judiciary, it is in continual jeopardy of
+being overpowered, awed, or influenced by its co-ordinate branches; and
+that as nothing can contribute so much to its firmness and independence
+as permanency in office, this quality may therefore be justly regarded
+as an indispensable ingredient in its constitution, and, in a great
+measure, as the citadel of the public justice and the public security.
+
+The complete independence of the courts of justice is peculiarly
+essential in a limited Constitution. By a limited Constitution, I
+understand one which contains certain specified exceptions to the
+legislative authority; such, for instance, as that it shall pass no
+bills of attainder, no ex post facto laws, and the like. Limitations
+of this kind can be preserved in practice no other way than through the
+medium of courts of justice, whose duty it must be to declare all acts
+contrary to the manifest tenor of the Constitution void. Without this,
+all the reservations of particular rights or privileges would amount to
+nothing.
+
+Some perplexity respecting the rights of the courts to pronounce
+legislative acts void, because contrary to the Constitution, has arisen
+from an imagination that the doctrine would imply a superiority of the
+judiciary to the legislative power. It is urged that the authority which
+can declare the acts of another void, must necessarily be superior to
+the one whose acts may be declared void. As this doctrine is of great
+importance in all the American constitutions, a brief discussion of the
+ground on which it rests cannot be unacceptable.
+
+There is no position which depends on clearer principles, than that
+every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the
+commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act,
+therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this,
+would be to affirm, that the deputy is greater than his principal; that
+the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people
+are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of
+powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what
+they forbid.
+
+If it be said that the legislative body are themselves the
+constitutional judges of their own powers, and that the construction
+they put upon them is conclusive upon the other departments, it may be
+answered, that this cannot be the natural presumption, where it is not
+to be collected from any particular provisions in the Constitution. It
+is not otherwise to be supposed, that the Constitution could intend to
+enable the representatives of the people to substitute their will to
+that of their constituents. It is far more rational to suppose, that the
+courts were designed to be an intermediate body between the people and
+the legislature, in order, among other things, to keep the latter within
+the limits assigned to their authority. The interpretation of the laws
+is the proper and peculiar province of the courts. A constitution is,
+in fact, and must be regarded by the judges, as a fundamental law.
+It therefore belongs to them to ascertain its meaning, as well as the
+meaning of any particular act proceeding from the legislative body. If
+there should happen to be an irreconcilable variance between the two,
+that which has the superior obligation and validity ought, of course, to
+be preferred; or, in other words, the Constitution ought to be preferred
+to the statute, the intention of the people to the intention of their
+agents.
+
+Nor does this conclusion by any means suppose a superiority of the
+judicial to the legislative power. It only supposes that the power
+of the people is superior to both; and that where the will of the
+legislature, declared in its statutes, stands in opposition to that
+of the people, declared in the Constitution, the judges ought to be
+governed by the latter rather than the former. They ought to regulate
+their decisions by the fundamental laws, rather than by those which are
+not fundamental.
+
+This exercise of judicial discretion, in determining between two
+contradictory laws, is exemplified in a familiar instance. It not
+uncommonly happens, that there are two statutes existing at one time,
+clashing in whole or in part with each other, and neither of them
+containing any repealing clause or expression. In such a case, it is the
+province of the courts to liquidate and fix their meaning and operation.
+So far as they can, by any fair construction, be reconciled to each
+other, reason and law conspire to dictate that this should be done;
+where this is impracticable, it becomes a matter of necessity to give
+effect to one, in exclusion of the other. The rule which has obtained in
+the courts for determining their relative validity is, that the last in
+order of time shall be preferred to the first. But this is a mere rule
+of construction, not derived from any positive law, but from the nature
+and reason of the thing. It is a rule not enjoined upon the courts by
+legislative provision, but adopted by themselves, as consonant to truth
+and propriety, for the direction of their conduct as interpreters of the
+law. They thought it reasonable, that between the interfering acts of an
+EQUAL authority, that which was the last indication of its will should
+have the preference.
+
+But in regard to the interfering acts of a superior and subordinate
+authority, of an original and derivative power, the nature and reason of
+the thing indicate the converse of that rule as proper to be followed.
+They teach us that the prior act of a superior ought to be preferred to
+the subsequent act of an inferior and subordinate authority; and that
+accordingly, whenever a particular statute contravenes the Constitution,
+it will be the duty of the judicial tribunals to adhere to the latter
+and disregard the former.
+
+It can be of no weight to say that the courts, on the pretense of a
+repugnancy, may substitute their own pleasure to the constitutional
+intentions of the legislature. This might as well happen in the case
+of two contradictory statutes; or it might as well happen in every
+adjudication upon any single statute. The courts must declare the sense
+of the law; and if they should be disposed to exercise WILL instead of
+JUDGMENT, the consequence would equally be the substitution of their
+pleasure to that of the legislative body. The observation, if it prove
+any thing, would prove that there ought to be no judges distinct from
+that body.
+
+If, then, the courts of justice are to be considered as the bulwarks
+of a limited Constitution against legislative encroachments, this
+consideration will afford a strong argument for the permanent tenure of
+judicial offices, since nothing will contribute so much as this to that
+independent spirit in the judges which must be essential to the faithful
+performance of so arduous a duty.
+
+This independence of the judges is equally requisite to guard the
+Constitution and the rights of individuals from the effects of those ill
+humors, which the arts of designing men, or the influence of particular
+conjunctures, sometimes disseminate among the people themselves, and
+which, though they speedily give place to better information, and more
+deliberate reflection, have a tendency, in the meantime, to occasion
+dangerous innovations in the government, and serious oppressions of the
+minor party in the community. Though I trust the friends of the proposed
+Constitution will never concur with its enemies,(3) in questioning that
+fundamental principle of republican government, which admits the right
+of the people to alter or abolish the established Constitution, whenever
+they find it inconsistent with their happiness, yet it is not to be
+inferred from this principle, that the representatives of the people,
+whenever a momentary inclination happens to lay hold of a majority of
+their constituents, incompatible with the provisions in the existing
+Constitution, would, on that account, be justifiable in a violation of
+those provisions; or that the courts would be under a greater obligation
+to connive at infractions in this shape, than when they had proceeded
+wholly from the cabals of the representative body. Until the people
+have, by some solemn and authoritative act, annulled or changed the
+established form, it is binding upon themselves collectively, as well
+as individually; and no presumption, or even knowledge, of their
+sentiments, can warrant their representatives in a departure from it,
+prior to such an act. But it is easy to see, that it would require an
+uncommon portion of fortitude in the judges to do their duty as faithful
+guardians of the Constitution, where legislative invasions of it had
+been instigated by the major voice of the community.
+
+But it is not with a view to infractions of the Constitution only, that
+the independence of the judges may be an essential safeguard against the
+effects of occasional ill humors in the society. These sometimes extend
+no farther than to the injury of the private rights of particular
+classes of citizens, by unjust and partial laws. Here also the firmness
+of the judicial magistracy is of vast importance in mitigating the
+severity and confining the operation of such laws. It not only serves
+to moderate the immediate mischiefs of those which may have been passed,
+but it operates as a check upon the legislative body in passing them;
+who, perceiving that obstacles to the success of iniquitous intention
+are to be expected from the scruples of the courts, are in a manner
+compelled, by the very motives of the injustice they meditate, to
+qualify their attempts. This is a circumstance calculated to have more
+influence upon the character of our governments, than but few may be
+aware of. The benefits of the integrity and moderation of the judiciary
+have already been felt in more States than one; and though they may have
+displeased those whose sinister expectations they may have disappointed,
+they must have commanded the esteem and applause of all the virtuous
+and disinterested. Considerate men, of every description, ought to prize
+whatever will tend to beget or fortify that temper in the courts: as no
+man can be sure that he may not be to-morrow the victim of a spirit of
+injustice, by which he may be a gainer to-day. And every man must
+now feel, that the inevitable tendency of such a spirit is to sap the
+foundations of public and private confidence, and to introduce in its
+stead universal distrust and distress.
+
+That inflexible and uniform adherence to the rights of the Constitution,
+and of individuals, which we perceive to be indispensable in the courts
+of justice, can certainly not be expected from judges who hold their
+offices by a temporary commission. Periodical appointments, however
+regulated, or by whomsoever made, would, in some way or other, be
+fatal to their necessary independence. If the power of making them was
+committed either to the Executive or legislature, there would be danger
+of an improper complaisance to the branch which possessed it; if to
+both, there would be an unwillingness to hazard the displeasure of
+either; if to the people, or to persons chosen by them for the special
+purpose, there would be too great a disposition to consult popularity,
+to justify a reliance that nothing would be consulted but the
+Constitution and the laws.
+
+There is yet a further and a weightier reason for the permanency of
+the judicial offices, which is deducible from the nature of the
+qualifications they require. It has been frequently remarked, with great
+propriety, that a voluminous code of laws is one of the inconveniences
+necessarily connected with the advantages of a free government. To avoid
+an arbitrary discretion in the courts, it is indispensable that they
+should be bound down by strict rules and precedents, which serve to
+define and point out their duty in every particular case that comes
+before them; and it will readily be conceived from the variety of
+controversies which grow out of the folly and wickedness of mankind,
+that the records of those precedents must unavoidably swell to a very
+considerable bulk, and must demand long and laborious study to acquire a
+competent knowledge of them. Hence it is, that there can be but few men
+in the society who will have sufficient skill in the laws to qualify
+them for the stations of judges. And making the proper deductions for
+the ordinary depravity of human nature, the number must be still smaller
+of those who unite the requisite integrity with the requisite knowledge.
+These considerations apprise us, that the government can have no great
+option between fit character; and that a temporary duration in office,
+which would naturally discourage such characters from quitting a
+lucrative line of practice to accept a seat on the bench, would have a
+tendency to throw the administration of justice into hands less able,
+and less well qualified, to conduct it with utility and dignity. In
+the present circumstances of this country, and in those in which it is
+likely to be for a long time to come, the disadvantages on this score
+would be greater than they may at first sight appear; but it must be
+confessed, that they are far inferior to those which present themselves
+under the other aspects of the subject.
+
+Upon the whole, there can be no room to doubt that the convention acted
+wisely in copying from the models of those constitutions which have
+established good behavior as the tenure of their judicial offices, in
+point of duration; and that so far from being blamable on this account,
+their plan would have been inexcusably defective, if it had wanted this
+important feature of good government. The experience of Great Britain
+affords an illustrious comment on the excellence of the institution.
