[T]o preserve the republican form and principles of our Constitution and cleave to the salutary distribution of powers which that [the Constitution] has established . . . are the two sheet anchors of our Union. If driven from either, we shall be in danger of foundering. <http://westillholdthesetruths.org/quotes/388/to-preserve-the-republican-form-and>
