• By integrating women into particularly military institutes, it cripples the readiness of our defense.

• Good constitutions are formed upon a comparison of the liberty of the individual with the strength of government: If the tone of either be too high, the other will be weakened too much.

Through the opposition and mutual control of these bodies, the government will reach, in its regular operations, the perfect balance between liberty and power.
