Book Description
Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Saunders, on the Proposition to Amend the Constitution of the United States, Respecting the Election of President and Vice President: Delivered in the House of Representatives, February 24, 1826 The reference of the choice of Electors to the imme diate act of the People, precludes the idea of their apo pointment by any other body; and if it is to be their im mediate act, this can only be affected, as I shall attempt hereafter to shew, through the means of Districts. It is idle to talk of the immediate act of the People, unless they are to vote directly for the President themselves, or for persons, as Electors, whom they know, and in whom they have confidence.
