"When you assemble from your several counties in the Legislature, were every member to be guided only by the apparent interest of his county, government would be impracticable. There must be a perpetual accomodation and sacrifice of local advantage to general expediency."

-- Alexander Hamilton (speech at the New York Ratifying Convention, June 1788)
