2. Representatives and direct Taxes shall ... be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, ... and ... three fifths of all other Persons.
3. Where the whole power of one department is exercised by the same hands which possess the whole power of another department, the fundamental principles of a free constitution are subverted.
4. You are not to inquire how your trade may be increased, nor how you are to become a great and powerful people, but how your liberties can be secured; for liberty ought to be the direct end of your government.
