Thoughts on the Constitutional Convention

In his speech of June 25 (Madison's Notes), Pinkney describes the inhabitants of the US as a people that lack a noble class and a royal class, so all that remains is the common people. There is in his opinion then no need for a branch of government that corresponds to the nobility and the royalty (that is, a permanent senate and executive).

If this is so, then the dream of the peasants that Froissart describes is fulfilled in the US
