• "Our peculiar security is in the possession of a written Constitution. Let us not make it a blank paper by construction."
    --Thomas Jefferson, to W. Nichols (1803)
  • On every question of construction, let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed."
    --Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, June 12, 1823, The Complete Jefferson, p. 322
