In many r espects there is an existing analogy be tween the constitutions of the states and the national constitution and the solar system. The sun, giving source of light and heat, is the cen tral authority and controls the revo lutions of the planets in fixed orbits. Likewise the constitution of the na tion, which can be described as the central sun, controls ihe status of state constitutions, which may be called the planets in ihis mutual sys- em ... It is not within the probability of nature that the aim will ever need . to abstract 1,-0111 the planets any further light energy or power to con trol them. It is likewise not proba hie in history or the necessity of the I'aw that the national constitution k needs any fur l.cr power to it l»y the states to regulate the legal af irs of this country.
