The Vice-President of the United States shall be president of the senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.
Stran 20 - These examples, which are nearly as dissimilar to each other as to a genuine republic, show the extreme inaccuracy with which the term has been used in political disquisitions. If we resort for a criterion, to the different principles on which different forms of government are established, we may define a republic to be, or at least may bestow that name on, a government which derives all its powers directly or indirectly from the great body of the people ; and is administered...
