The setting is different. a world never once in the most imaginative mind ever conceived by that generation of Americans. I think the significant thing. as I said earlier. is that the first 10 years of our national existence. the first and second Continental Congresses. there was no such thing as an office of an executive agent much less of a Presidenttype of office because of the fear. Now one of the big fears and one of the big reasons impelling the migration not only at that time but even up to 100 years later. almost. the revolutionary wars in Europe. the last one which erupted and propelled hundreds of thousands of immigrants to our country was the 1848 revolution. and those subsequent upheavals in Europe. And every one of them. even as late as the Kaiser in his day and time. at the turn of the century. developed because of the fear of kingmade wars over which the people had no control. So the constitutionalists. those writing the Constitution. placed article II. executive branch. the Presidency in article II. not in article I.
