- I. The Qualifications Proposed For Senators, As Distinguished From Those Of Representatives, Consist In A More Advanced Age And A Longer Period Of Citizenship. A Senator Must Be Thirty Years Of Age At Least; As A Representative Must Be Twenty-five. And The Former Must Have Been A Citizen Nine Years; As Seven Years Are Required For The Latter. The Propriety Of These Distinctions Is Explained By The Nature Of The Senatorial Trust, Which, Requiring Greater Extent Of Information And Stability Of Character, Requires At The Same Time That The Senator Should Have Reached A Period Of Life Most Likely To Supply These Advantages; And Which, Participating Immediately In Transactions With Foreign Nations, Ought To Be Exercised By None Who Are Not Thoroughly Weaned From The Prepossessions And Habits Incident To Foreign Birth And Education. The Term Of Nine Years Appears To Be A Prudent Mediocrity Between A Total Exclusion Of Adopted Citizens, Whose Merits And Talents May Claim A Share In The Public Confidence, And An Indiscriminate And Hasty Admission Of Them, Which Might Create A Channel For Foreign Influence On The National Councils. 984
- Ii. It Is Equally Unnecessary To Dilate On The Appointment Of Senators By The State Legislatures. Among The Various Modes Which Might Have Been Devised For Constituting This Branch Of The Government, That Which Has Been Proposed By The Convention Is Probably The Most Congenial With The Public Opinion. It Is Recommended By The Double Advantage Of Favoring A Select Appointment, And Of Giving To The State Governments Such An Agency In The Formation Of The Federal Government As Must Secure The Authority Of The Former, And May Form A Convenient Link Between The Two Systems. 985
- Iii. The Equality Of Representation In The Senate Is Another Point, Which, Being Evidently The Result Of Compromise Between The Opposite Pretensions Of The Large And The Small States, Does Not Call For Much Discussion. If Indeed It Be Right, That Among A People Thoroughly Incorporated Into One Nation, Every District Ought To Have A Proportional Share In The Government, And That Among Independent And Sovereign States, Bound Together By A Simple League, The Parties, However Unequal In Size, Ought To Have An Equal Share In The Common Councils, It Does Not Appear To Be Without Some Reason That In A Compound Republic, Partaking Both Of The National And Federal Character, The Government Ought To Be Founded On A Mixture Of The Principles Of Proportional And Equal Representation. But It Is Superfluous To Try, By The Standard Of Theory, A Part Of The Constitution Which Is Allowed On All Hands To Be The Result, Not Of Theory, But "Of A Spirit Of Amity, And That Mutual Deference And Concession Which The Peculiarity Of Our Political Situation Rendered Indispensable." A Common Government, With Powers Equal To Its Objects, Is Called For By The Voice, And Still More Loudly By The Political Situation, Of America. A Government Founded On Principles More Consonant To The Wishes Of The Larger States, Is Not Likely To Be Obtained From The Smaller States. The Only Option, Then, For The Former, Lies Between The Proposed Government And A Government Still More Objectionable. Under This Alternative, The Advice Of Prudence Must Be To Embrace The Lesser Evil; And, Instead Of Indulging A Fruitless Anticipation Of The Possible Mischiefs Which May Ensue, To Contemplate Rather The Advantageous Consequences Which May Qualify The Sacrifice. 986
- Iv. The Number Of Senators, And The Duration Of Their Appointment, Come Next To Be Considered. In Order To Form An Accurate Judgment On Both Of These Points, It Will Be Proper To Inquire Into The Purposes Which Are To Be Answered By A Senate; And In Order To Ascertain These, It Will Be Necessary To Review The Inconveniences Which A Republic Must Suffer From The Want Of Such An Institution. 989
