But that which is particularly to be attended to here is this: In all countries of the earth, whether of primitive masses or those of secondary formation, whether uniform and homogeneous, or compound and mixed of those two different kinds of bodies, the system is always the same, of hills and valleys, lakes and rivers, ravines and streams: no man can say, by looking into the most perfect map, what is primary or what secondary in the constitution of the globe.

McKinley, Senator Lodge and Mr. Moody say neither way is acceptable the lands and the people are ours. They have no rights under the Constitution.

The constitution drawn up, ordained, and established by a nation for itself is a law the organic or fundamental law, if you will, but a law, and is and must be the act of the sovereign power. That sovereign power must exist before it can act, and it cannot exist, if vested in the people or nation, without a constitution, or without some sort of political organization of the people or nation.
