““A constitution under which the people could actually govern themselves should make a congress, composed of a single house, the chief instrument of government. A measure, having passed the scrutiny and received the indorsement of that single-bodied congress, should become the law. No senate should be permitted to mangle or kill it. No president should be permitted to touch it. No supreme court should be permitted to alter a word of it. Even the constitution should contain nothing to prevent congress from enacting either that or any other law. But the people should have the right to halt the execution of the law and, after consideration, kill every word of it.””
