A letter to Thomas F. Bayard: Challenging his right – and that of all the other so called senators and representatives in congress – to exercise any legislative power whatever over the people..

Abstract

LB.2 This proposition implies that you hold it to be at least possible that some four hundred men should, by some process or other, become invested with the right to make laws of their own – that is, laws wholly of their own device , and therefore necessarily distinct from the law of nature, of the principles of natural justice; and that these laws of their own making shall be really and truly obligatory upon the people of the United States; and that, therefore, the people may rightfully be compelled to obey them.
