Excerpt from James Madison's Notes of Debates: In the Federal Convention of 1787 and Their Relation to a More Prefect Society of Nations "Now a new strain, a new impulse, the strain and impulse of those who build and make good what they have achieved, was upon the leaders of the young States, and they spoke their chastened thought like masters." (Woodrow Wilson, A History of the American People, Ch. II. "Founding a Federal Government," Vol. Ill, p. 82, 1901.) "What we seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent of the governed and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind." (President Wilson's Address of July 4, 1918, delivered at Mount Vernon.)
