Edmund Randolph quotes:

A man of abilities and character, of any sect whatever, may be admitted to any office of public trust under the United States.

A people who mean to be free must be prepared to meet danger in person, and not rely upon the fallacious protection of armies

to provide a cure for the evils under which the United States labored; that in tracing these evils to their origin every man had found it in the turbulence and trials of democracy....

It would be a foetus of monarchy!
