In the senate the sovereignties [powers] of the several states will be equally represented; in the house of representatives, the people of the whole union [all the states] will be equally represented; and, in the president, and the federal independent judges, so much concerned in the execution [carrying out] of the laws, and in the determination of their constitutionality, the sovereignties of the several states and the people of the whole union, may be considered as . . . represented.” -John Dickinson, The Letters of Fabius, in 1788, on the Federal Constitution
