"the president of the united states would be an officer elected by the people for four years, the king of
great britain is a perpetual and hereditary prince. the one would be amenable to personal punishment
and disgrace, the person of the other is sacred and inviolable. the one would have a qualified negative
upon the acts of the legislative body, the other has an absolute negative. the one would have a right to
command the military and naval forces of the nation, the other, in addition to this right, possesses that
of declaring war, of raising and regulating fleets and armies by his own authority. the one would have a
concurrent power with a branch of the legislature in the formation of treaties, the other is the sole
possessor of the power of making treaties."
