Fifth Article in last Philadelphia week--Philadelphia, previously concentrated on its own First Article, has so far forgotten that future Articles will probably be federal, which legislatures can make--Wherefore, legislatures not yet mentioned in tentative Fifth Article--Madison and Hamilton recall probability that all future Articles will be federal and suggest a Fifth Article which mentions “legislatures” as well as “conventions”--Full record of September 10, 1787, day of that Madison suggestion--Added mention no support for modern error that Fifth Article a “grant”--Moderns ignore that one supposed grantee is supposed grantor and that “grant” would make Americans “subjects”--In language of Fifth Article, Philadelphia finds no suggestion of modern error and the Article, with its added mention of legislatures, is passed without discussion--Having no suggestion of a “grant,” it is known at Philadelphia to be constitutional mode of future exercise of the two existing but different abilities of “legislatures” and “conventions”--Madison, Wilson and Marshall on this fact--Full Philadelphia story of September 15, when Fifth Article finally considered--Defeat of Gerry’s motion to strike out “by conventions in three-fourths thereof”--Modern error of thinking and acting as if that motion had been carried. XI. CONVENTIONS CREATE GOVERNMENT OF MEN _Page 141_ “Conventions” of Seventh Article, making Constitution, know same “conventions” of Fifth Article to be themselves, the American citizens--Americans, in “conventions,” with American concept that government exists solely to secure individual and his freedom, read and make Fifth Article--Madison hits hard modern concept of Bolshevist Russian and Eighteenth Amendment American that human beings are made for kings or legislatures or political entities--Conventions hear Madison explain Fifth Article as prescribing procedure in which “conventions” can again assemble constitutionally to exercise their power and in which “legislatures” may act constitutionally in making future federal Articles--Recognize its constitutional mode as exact Revolutionary mode just followed by Madison and others at Philadelphia and that future Congress should do exactly what Philadelphia did and no more--Recognize Fifth Article settles how each “convention” vote shall count as one vote of American citizens and how many “convention” votes shall be necessary and sufficient to make a future Article which “conventions” of American citizens alone can make--Recognize words “in three-fourths thereof” after word “conventions” most important words in Fifth Article and a great security to individual liberty--Average American now sees why Eighteenth Amendment Tories seek escape from that security by asserting Constitution created supreme will independent of American citizens, i.e., will of state legislatures.
