1720. CONSTITUTION (Spanish), Proposed.—

The Constitution proposed has one
feature which I like much; that which provides
that when the three coordinate branches differ
in their construction of the Constitution, the
opinion of two branches shall overrule the third.
Our Constitution has not sufficiently solved this
difficulty.—
To Valentine de Foronda. Washington ed. v, 473.
