Passage 1 The second section gives power to the President, "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur…" Some are displleased with it, not on account of any errors or defects in it, but because they say the treaties will have the force of laws, and thus should be made only by the legislature. These gentlemen seem not to consider that the judgement of our courts, and the commissions constitutionally given by our governor, are as valid and as binding on all persons whom they concern as the laws passed by our legislature. All constitutional acts of power, whether in the executive or in the judicial department, have as much legal validity and obligation as if they proceeded from the legislature. it surely does not follow that because the people have given the power of makin laws to the legislature, they should therefore likewise give the legislature the power to do every other act of government by which the citizens are to the bound and affected. The President is to have power, "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the senators present concur."... Though several writers o teh subject of government place the power of making treatis in the class of executive aunthorities, this is evidently an arbitrary classicication, for if we attend carefully to its operation, it will be found to partake more of the legislative than of the executive character, though it does not seem strictly to fall within the definition of either of them. The essence of teh legislative branch is to enact laws, or, in other words, to prescribe rules for the regulation of teh society, while the execution of the laws, and the employment of the common strength, either for this purpose of for the common defense, seem to comprise all the functions of the executive branch. The power of making treaties is, plainly, neither the one nor the other. It relates neither to the execution of the existing laws, nor to the creation of new ones, and still less to an exertion of the common strength. Its objects are CONTRACTS with foreign nations, which have the force of law, but derive it from the obligations of good faith. They are not rules prescribed by the government of the citizen, but agreements between two governments. The power in questin seems therefore to form a distinct department, and to belong, properly, neither to the legislative nor to the exective branch. The qualties elsewhere detailed as indispensable in the management of foreign negotiations point to the Exective as the best agent in those transactions, while the vast importance of the trust, and the operation of treaties as laws, plead strongly for the participation of the whole or a portion of the legislative body in the office of making them. In Passage 1, Jay's statemetn at lines 7-9 ("they say ...legislature") and in Passage 2, hamilton's statement at lines 36-39 ("The essence...cociety") both serve to help the authors |
