Question 13

For this question,refer to the following excerpt. We are in the midst of a revolution,hitherto bloodless,but rapidly tending toward a total change of the pure republican character of the government,and to the concentration of all power in the hands of one man.The powers of Congress are paralyzed,except when exerted in conformity with his will,by frequent and an extraordinary exercise of the executive veto,not anticipated by the founders of our Constitution,and not practiced by any of the predecessors of the present chief magistrate....
The judiciary has not been exempt from the prevailing rage for innovation.Decisions of the tribunals,deliberately pronounced,have been contemptuously disregarded....Our Indian relations,coeval with the existence of the government,and recognized and established by numerous laws and treaties,have been subverted....The system of protection of improvement lies crushed beneath the veto.The system of protection of American industry [will soon meet a similar fate]....In a term of eight years,a little more than equal to that which was required to establish our liberties [as an independent republic between 1776 and 1783],the government will have been transformed into an elective monarchy-the worst of all forms of government.
