Where the people have a voice, and there is no balance, there will be everlasting fluctuations, revolutions, and horrors, until a standing army, with a general at its head, commands the peace, or the necessity of an equilibrium is made appear to all, and is adopted by all.
IOW, democratic republicanism of which we have endured for 102 years, will end with the bayonet, . . . unless we return to "equilibrium."
Article V before we can't.
