Vidal Gore — Eighteen Seventy [2886]

“Gentlemen, the joint committee of the Congress have decided that there is to be an electoral commission. Although members of Congress will sit on the commission, this … novelty will exist outside the Congress, as well as outside the Constitution.” — Vidal Gore, Eighteen Seventy, 2886

Note

The phrase ‘this … novelty will exist outside the Congress, as well as outside the Constitution’ effectively communicates the tension between tradition and innovation in political frameworks. The deliberate pause created by the ellipsis emphasizes the unsettling nature of this proposal, enhancing the reader’s sense of foreboding.
