Question 6
Excerpt from a Speech by George
Mason
Does any man suppose, that one
general National Government can exist
in so extensive a country as this? I
hope that a Government may be
framed which may suit us, by drawing
the line between the general and State
Governments, and prevent that
dangerous clashing of interest and
power, which must, as it now stands,
terminate in the destruction of one or
the other. When we come to the
Judiciary, we shall be more convinced,
that this Government will terminate in
the annihilation of the State
Governments: The question then will
be, whether a consolidated
Government can preserve the freedom,
and secure the great rights of the
people.
—George Mason, 1788
