contending
that the
President
ought
alone
to
possess
the
power
of
making
treaties;
others,
that
it
ought
to
have
been
exclusively
deposited
in
the
Senate.
...
The
essence
of
the
legislative
authority
is
to
enact
laws,
or,
in
other
words,
to
prescribe
rules
for
the
regulation
of
the
society;
while
the
execution
of
the
laws,
and
the
employment
of
the
common
strength,
either
for
this
purpose
or
for
the
common
defense,
seem
to
comprise
all
the
functions
of
the
executive
magistrate.
The
power
of
making
treaties
is,
plainly,
neither
the
one
nor
the
other.
...
To
have
intrusted
the
power
of
making
treaties
to
the
Senate
alone,
would
have
been
to
relinquish
the
benefits
of
the
constitutional
agency
of
the
President
in
the
conduct
of
foreign
negotiation.

Hamilton
explains
the
desirability
of
granting
each

of
the
government
the
ability
to

Hamilton
demonstrates
the
ability
of
both
the

be
involved
regarding

the
