Mr. Jefferson aimed his attacks at Mr. Madison’s face, and intended to inflict harm on Mr. Madison, but not kill him.

The defendant had no control over the negligence of the hospital staff. The victim died because he went into a convulsion, pulled out his nasal tubes, and suffocated to death.…

However, six hundred years prior to that creation, a group of native tribes came together and forged the America’s true first constitution.
