Excerpt from Analysis of the Report of the Committee of the Virginia Assembly: On the Proceedings of Sundry of the Other States in Answer to Their Resolutions
The report, evidently the work of one man, is drawn up with great art and ingenuity. With some it may be doubtful whether it be the work of a candid mind ingenuously endeavouring to impress on others its own convictions; or the work of an ingenious mind uncandidly endeavouring to persuade others to believe what it believes not itself. Of the end which it prosecutes such is my opinion, that it cannot be prosecuted without great sacrifice either of principle or of understanding. In this opinion I may perhaps have to claim, and ought therefore to give, much charitable allowance for the steps by which an upright mind may be led to its own deception; but the report will hardly claim apology from defect of understanding. In answers or refutations, a greater diffusion of style is often requisite, than in the propositions which give rise to them.Much of the original subject must be repeated, to make the remarks on it intelligible. And some things, which yet may be doubted, cannot be more shortly expressed. If in the analysis which I am about to undertake of the reasoning in the principal points in this report, I can attain to any considerable degree of its classical brevity of expression, it is more than I expect, and all that I desire.
The 1st. and 2d. resolutions vindicated by the report profess a maintenance of the Constitution, and an attachment to the Union of the United States. This is well, of it be sincere: but professions of this kind, put in, by way of protestation, that things in themselves evil, may be construed as favourable as possible, are frequently a preface to matter of very different tendency, and may perhaps be more justly considered as ground of suspicion, than means of justification, of the principal matter.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an analysis of the Virginia Assembly's report on the Alien and Sedition Acts passed by the United States federal government in 1798. The author examines the arguments made in the report, which centered around the idea that the federal government had overstepped its constitutional authority by passing these laws. The author argues that the report's reasoning is flawed and that the laws were in fact constitutional. The book provides a valuable historical perspective on the debate over the balance of power between the federal government and the states, and the importance of free speech and the right to criticize the government.
