Quote of the day...

“Each govt. is in its sphere sovereign, so far as the term is applicable in a country where the people alone are so, the State govts. don’t derive their authorities from the general govt.; they are not established by its ordinances, or accountable to it for their administration. like the frontier govts., or the revenue or other offices of the U. States.”

James Monroe, Letter to Thomas Jefferson, May 4, 1801
