In the debates of the Convention, Dr. Franklin said:--

“As it had been asked what would be the use of restraining the

second branch from meddling with _money bills_, he could not

but remark, that it was always of importance that the people

should know who had disposed of their money, _and how it had

been disposed of_.”

Please, Sir, to mark these words.

“It was a maxim, that those who feel can best judge. This end

would, he thought, be best attained, if _money affairs_ were to

be confined to the immediate representatives of the people.”[37]
