Read the passage by Robert Yates, who was a politician and a judge.[I]t appears that the general government, when completely organized, will absorb all those powers of the state which the framers of its constitution had declared should be only exercised by the representatives of the people of the state; . . . In a word, the new constitution will prove finally to dissolve all the power of the several state legislatures, and destroy the rights and liberties of the people; for the power of the first will be all in all, and of the latter a mere shadow and form without substance.–Robert Yates, New York Journal, Saturday, June 14, 1788
