In a 1793 Supreme Court opinion in Chisholm v. Georgia -- a case that provided the impetus for ratification of the 11th Amendment to the Constitution -- Justice James Wilson （本人注：詹姆斯•威爾遜，美國開國元勳之一）offered the following observation in arguing that the people, not the states, ought to be the primary objects of political attention:
