Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Commercial Power of Congress, Considered in the Light of Its Origin The extent of the power of Congress, under the Constitution, to regulate interstate commerce has been more thoroughly investigated during the last six years than ever before, unless possibly during President Jefferson´s second administration. The ardent opposition to the Railroad Rate bill, the Employers´ Liability bill, and other measures proposed during President Roosevelt´s administration, for the purpose of controlling the great railroad and other corporations through the power of Congress to regulate commerce, led to thorough inquiry into the basis of the power; but, as is usual when radically different positions are taken by opposite parties to a debate, both sides advanced arguments which sober reason would find it difficult to approve. On the one hand, supporters of the administration claimed powers for Congress exceeding what were justified by the origin of the Constitution or the decisions of the Supreme Court; on the other hand opponents of the President rested much of their case upon a statement of facts, so partial as to be substantially incorrect.
