CHUSE? What the heck is CHUSE?

The spelling of English words was not standardized until the late 19th century. I believe Daniel Webster had something to do with it.

In the 18th century, when the Constitution was written, spelling was not standardized, and it was not considered incorrect to use a variant spelling.
