Abstract: When the concurrence of a large number is required by the Constitution to the doing of any national act, we are apt to rest satisfied that all is safe, because nothing improper will be likely to be done; but we forget how much good may be prevented, and how much ill may be produced, by the power of hindering the doing of what may be necessary, and of keeping affairs in the same unfavorable posture in which they may happen to stand at particular periods.Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist 22
