which have taken place since the founda-
tion of the republic is complete, and read-

have to search many volumes. It should
be preserved for future reference.
At the time of the adoption o i the Con-
stitution there was a party opposed to anv
party in favor of the Constitution as it
came from the convention. The latter
prevailed; but the opposition triumphed
ill forcing, in the various conventions
called to ratify the instrument, an agree-
ment thai ten amendments should be
adopted, embodying ideas which the orig-
inal convention, under the influence of
Hamilton, had refused to enact. By this
compTomise the Constitution came into
effect with the assent of all parties.
The teii amendments, embodying the
more democratic ideas of the party, at
first known as Anti-Federalists and head-
ed by Jefferson, were adopted and rati-
fied according to compact. They forbid
the establishment of any state religion
and provide freedom of religion, speech,
the press, assembly and petition; the right
to bear arms; trial by jury and other
safeguards for the security of the citizen
agàinst artibtrary authority; provision
against the abuse of military authority
and a final clinching in the Tenth Amend-
nient, which says that “the powers not
delegated to thé United States nor pro-
hibited to the States are reserved to the
States respectively or to the people.”
At the first election the electors voted
for George Washington unanimously. As
the Constitution then absurdly proposed
that the electors should vote for two can-
didates, the person receiving the second
highest number of votes to become Vice-
President, the electors scattered their
second vote among various candidates,
JoHn Adams received thirty-four votes to
thirty-five scattered among various other
candidates, John Jay and John Hancock
among others receiving votes.
At the second election, in 1792, Wash-
ington again received the votes of every
elector, but for second choice there was a
