Of course he was correct on that as well.

Of course, the adults at the convention disagreed.

To: Huck
Here is another Henry goodie, from 9 June 1788.

“In making a dictator, we followed the example of the most glorious, magnanimous, and skillful nations. In great dangers, this power has been given. Rome had furnished us with an illustrious example. America found a person for that trust: she looked to Virginia for him. We gave a dictatorial power to hands that used it gloriously; and which were rendered more glorious by surrendering it up.”

If alive today, the attorney Henry would make a terrific ambulance chaser.
