Sir, I am not very keen to have all the words mentioned in my amendment inserted. I do not also want to make a speech and waste the time of the House. However, I want to make one point clear and with that end in view, I shall formally move this amendment:
“That in clause (1) of article 1, for the word ‘States’ the words ‘Republican States and the sovereignty of the Union shall reside in the whole body of the people’ be substituted.”
