It would be gratifying to see the Committee say...
"We regret that Congress hasn't been following the Constitution with regards to the District of Columbia. We have been reminded that Congress is supposed to exercise '...exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever...' within the district pursuant to Article 1, Section 8.
Therefore, we are proposing a Bill to void all District laws, and all City Ordinances, and return that exclusive legislative authority to Congress, adopt the criminal code and traffic laws from the State of Maryland, and set up a Committee to review and promulgate appropriate legislation as mandated by the Constitution, thereby fulfilling this one, at least, of our responsibilities" |

| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
