Today we all went to the zoo. The first animals I photographed were the Homo sapiens. There were many different groups, but this type seemed to prefer cooler weather and plenty of water.
Called 'man' for short, this creature has developed a system of government called a Republic, which governs itself without loss of freedom. However it seems to be regressing to a lesser state where people are not as alert and are on the brink of disaster. They need to revisit their Constitution and the men who penned it nearly 300 years ago.
One of those bright men was Alexander Hamilton, who spoke to the New York Ratifying Convention in 1788.
"This balance between the National and State governments ought to be dwelt on with peculiar attention, as it is of the utmost importance. It forms a double security to the people. If one encroaches on their rights they will find a powerful protection in the other. Indeed, they will both be prevented from overpassing their constitutional limits by a certain rivalship, which will ever subsist between them."
