All Power Is Vested In, And Consequently

All Men Are Created Equally Free And Independent, And Have Certain Inherent Rights, Of Which They Cannot, By Any Compact, Deprive Or Divest Their Posterity; Among Which Are The Enjoyment Of Life And Liberty, With The Means Of Acquiring And Possessing Property, And Pursuing The Obtaining Of Happiness And Safety.

Every Society, All Government, And Every Kind Of Civil Compact Therefore, Is Or Ought To Be, Calculated For The General Good And Safety Of The Community.

That The People Have A Right To Uniform Government; And, Therefore, That No Government Separate From, Or Independent Of The Government Of Virginia, Ought To Be Erected Or Established Within The Limits Thereof.

A Few Years' Experience Will Convince Us That Those Things Which At The Time They Happened We Regarded As Our Greatest Misfortunes Have Proved Our Greatest Blessings.

Whatever Power May Be Necessary For The National Government A Certain Portion Must Necessarily Be Left In The States. It Is Impossible For One Power To Pervade The Extreme Parts Of The U.s. So As To Carry Equal Justice To Them.
