The important distinction so well understood in America between a constitution established by the people, and unalterable by the government; and a law established by the government, and alterable by the government, seems to have been little understood and less observed in any other country. Wherever the supreme power of legislation has resided, has been supposed to reside also, a full power to change the form of government. ✨ Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay (1852). The Federalist, on the New Constitution, Written in 1788, p.247
