6851. POWERS, Separation 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.
Ford ed., vii, 108.
