Quote: The legislature should rarely meet; legislating too much is a great vice, numerous powers belong to the states.

* Mr. KING could not think there would be a necessity for a meeting every year. A great vice in our system was that of legislating too much. The most numerous objects of legislation belong to the States. Those of the National Legislature were but few. The chief of them were commerce and revenue. When these should be once settled, alterations would be rarely necessary and easily made.<ref>[http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/debates_807.asp Madison Debates, August 7, 1787]</ref>
