Excerpt from: Objections to the Constitution
• “There is no declaration of rights; and , the laws of the general government being paramount to the laws and constitutions of the several states, the declaration of rights in the separate states are no security. Nor are the people secured even in the enjoyment of the benefit of the common law, which stands here upon no foundation than its having been adopted by the respective acts forming the constitutions of the several states…”
• “…This government will commence in a moderate aristocracy: it is at present impossible to forsee whether it will, in its operation, produce a monarchy or a corrupt oppressive aristocracy; it will most probably vibrate some years between the two, and then terminate in the one or the other.”
