עמוד 22 - THE people of this Commonwealth have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent state; and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not, or may not hereafter, be by them expressly delegated to the United States of America, in Congress assembled.
עמוד 498 - And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
עמוד 627 - Contemplate the condition of that country of which you still form an important part. Consider its Government, uniting in one bond of common interest and general protection so many different States — giving to all their inhabitants the proud title of American citizens; protecting their commerce; securing their literature and their arts ; facilitating their intercommunication ; defending their frontiers, and making their names respected in the remotest parts of the earth.
