The accumulation of all powers legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands whether of one, a few, or many and
whether hereditary, selfappointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. Were the federal
Constitution, therefore, really chargeable with the accumulation of power, or with a mixture of powers, having a dangerous
tendency to such an accumulation, no further arguments would be necessary to inspire a universal reprobation of the system
