[The] first and fundamental positive law of all [governments] is the establishing of the legislative power... This legislative [power] is not only the supreme power of the [government], but [it is also] sacred and unalterable in the hands where the community have once placed it…[The] consent of the society, over whom no body can have a power to make laws, but by their own consent, and by authority received.
