1699. CONSTITUTION (The Federal), Principles of.—
The principle of the Constitution
is that of a separation of Legislative,
Executive and Judiciary functions, except
in cases specified. If this principle be not expressed
in direct terms, it is clearly the spirit
of the Constitution, and it ought to be so
commented and acted on by every friend of
free government.—
To James Madison. Washington ed. iv, 161.
