    Since each and every clause in the constitution had to be   
    approved by each and every state, they are pretty much all   
    compromises.   
      
    The writings of *ONE* founding father give his opinion only. No   
    matter how great his stature he still had one vote.   
      
    The true meaning is in the words. Original intent is far more a   
    matter of opinion.
