Hello native English speakers.
Query about one complex sentence.
Mandates issued, which the member is bound blindly and implicitly to obey, to vote and to argue for, though contrary to the clearest conviction of his judgment and conscience — these are things utterly unknown to the laws of this land, and which arise from a fundamental mistake of the whole order and tenor of our Constitution.(original)
Query: Is original a complete sentence and grammatically correct?
I guess, it is. the subject of the original is "Mandates" , the predicate is "were" which is omitted →Mandates issued = Mandates were issued.
the rest of this part or all after the "issued." functions as relative elements to modify the noun "Mandates".
and by grammar:
the two which’s both refer to the "mandates", and so does the pronoun "these"here.
Is my guess correct according to the original?
By the way , if seriously by the form of the original, I guess it is not complete sentence but a complex long noun phrase, all the rest part that follows the "Mandates" modifies the "Mandates".
That guess of mine is also correct??
