The Delicate Dignity of Congress

The representatives of the people, in a popular assembly, seem sometimes to fancy that they are the people themselves; and betray strong symptoms of impatience and disgust at the least sign of opposition from any other quarter: as if the exercise of its rights by either the executive or the judiciary were a breach of their privilege and an outrage to their dignity.

-Alexander Hamilton
