Summary

This quote emphasizes the fundamental principle on which the Government was established - the complete equality of the free and sovereign States that formed it. It suggests that each State had an equal standing and power in the formation and operation of the Government, with no State having dominance or control over another. This principle of equality was considered crucial in ensuring the fairness and effectiveness of the Government, highlighting the notion of a unified but decentralized system where states had their own rights and authority.

The world rides through space on the back of a turtle. This is one of the great ancient world myths, found wherever men and turtles were gathered together; the four elephants were an Indo-European sophistication. The idea has been lying in the lumber rooms of legend for centuries. All I had to do was grab it and run away before the alarms went off.There are no maps. You can't map a sense of humour.
