PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS, EIGHTH ANNUAL MEETING

AMERICAN POLITICAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION

SIMEON E. BALDWIN

When the Constitution of the United States was pending for ratification, its supporters, in their public utterances, were disposed to minimize the powers which it conferred. This was the general tone of the Federalist. How far they might reach, indeed, was a question that only the future could fully answer. A set of traditions and usages and precedents must first grow up, under the Constitution, but outside of it.

Every one saw that much would depend on the views of Washington. Every one looked forward with confidence to his unanimous election as the first President. Everyone saw that it would be left to him to decide whether he should be reelected. His refusal to stand for a third term founded a usage that has become as controlling as an express constitutional provision.
