Great States Rights Interpretation,
By
This review is from: Construction Construed, and Constitutions Vindicated (Hardcover)
John Taylor of Caroline's " Construction Construed, and Constitutions Vindicated" is a brilliant refutation of JohnMarshall's decision in Mc Culloch vs. Maryland. Taylor dissects the decision based on a Jeffersonian view of the delegated powers of the federal government in the U.S. Constitution. Taylor shows how the decision annhilates the taxing powers of the states within their own borders, and elevates the authority of the federal government above the states. Taylor is especially critical of Marshall's dictum that the federal government is " supreme" in it's " sphere". Taylor rejects this view completely.Taylor maintains that the federal government is a government of delegated, limited powers, and that powers not delgated are reserved to the states. It is truly a brilliant states rights interpretation. He also reviews the Missouri Compromise. He shows the unconstitutionality of the Compromise and is prophetic on how it will lead to civil war. Other objects discussed are the ruinous effects of bounties to corporations and the creation of exclusive priviledges for the wealthy. Overall brilliant.
