1340. COERCION OF A STATE, Law of Nature and.—
The coercive powers supposed
to be wanting in the federal head, I am of
opinion they possess by the law of nature,
which authorizes one party to an agreement
to compel the other to performance. A delinquent
State makes itself a party against the
rest of the confederacy.—
To Edward Randolph. Washington ed. ii, 211.
