contention on mere assertion that Fifth Article is greatest grant of power ever made by free men to government. XXV. CITIZEN OR “EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT”? _Page 397_ Congress is only legislature with any power of attorney from the citizens of America--At very beginning and very end of original Constitution, citizens of America expressly so state--All briefs of 1920 based on asserted assumption denying those two statements and insisting Fifth Article is “grant” to governments of state citizens--Briefs for new Amendment assert “grant” made governments of state citizens omnipotent master of everything in America (including all human rights) save number of Senators from each state--On this Tory concept depends entirely existence of Eighteenth Amendment--Tory concept being absolute myth, Amendment disappears--Amusing to find Tory briefs for Amendment with American citations and quotations which annihilate Tory concept--Unconscious humor of Wheeler surpasses “Comic Blackstone”--Tory legions, fighting under crescent of Mohammet, claim to be American and Christian crusaders--Americans would have remained “subjects” if Parliament, passing the Stamp Act, had said: “You subjects must obey this command we make but, making it, we do not legislate”--“Statement” that citizens of America universally demanded this sole Amendment which attempts to change the First Article enumerated powers--“Proof” that 4742 Tory members of governments of state citizens said “Yes” to the change--Jefferson and Madison tell us that concentration of all power in legislatures “is precisely the definition of despotic government,” that 173 “despots would surely be as oppressive as one,” and that “an elective despotism was not the government we fought for”--Calhoun contended one state might defy supreme will of citizens of America--Tories for Amendment go far beyond doctrine finally repudiated by Gettysburg--On Tory concept that we are “subjects” of omnipotent government, assert that some governments of state citizens may dictate, in all matters of human right, what the citizens of America may and may not do--Echo from “conventions” which made Fifth Article, “How comes it, sir, that these state governments dictate to their superiors, to the majesty of the people?” XXVI.
