The FEDERALIST, No. XLIII. To the People of the State of New-York.
A fifth class of provisions in favor of the Federal authority, consists of the following restrictions on the authority of the several States.
No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance or confederation, grant letters of marque and reprisal, coin money, emit bills of credit, make any thing but gold and silver a legal tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.
The prohibition against treaties, alliances and confederations, makes a part of the existing articles of Union; and for reasons which need no explanation, is copied into the new Constitution. The prohibition of letters of marque is another part of the old system, but is somewhat extended in the new. According to the former, letters of marque could be granted by the States after a declaration of war. According to the latter, these licences must be obtained as well during war as previous to its declaration, from the Government of the United States. This alteration is fully justified by the advantage of uniformity in all points which relate to foreign powers; and of immediate responsibility to the nation in all those, for whose conduct the nation itself is to be responsible.
The right of coining money, which is here taken from the States, was left in their hands by the Confederation as a concurrent right with that of Congress, under an exception in favor of the exclusive right of Congress to regulate the alloy and value. In this instance also the new provision is an improvement on the old. Whilst the alloy and value depended on the general authority a right of coinage in the particular States could have no other effect than to multiply expensive mints, and diversify the forms and weights of the circulating pieces. The latter inconvenience defeats one purpose for which the power was originally submitted to the Federal head. And as far as the former might prevent an inconvenient remittance of gold and silver to the central mint for recoinage, the end can be as well attained, by local mints established under the general authority.
The extension of the prohibition to bills of credit must give pleasure to every citizen in proportion to his love of justice, and his knowledge of the true springs of public prosperity. The loss which America has sustained since the peace, from the pestilent effects of paper money, on the necessary confidence between man and man; on the necessary confidence in the public councils; on the industry and morals of the people, and on the character of Republican Government, constitutes an enormous debt against the States chargeable with this unadvised measure, which must long remain unsatisfied; or rather an accumulation of guilt, which can be expiated no otherwise than by a voluntary sacrifice on the altar of justice, of the power which has been the instrument of it. In addition to these persuasive considerations, it may be observed that the same reasons which show the necessity of denying to the States the power of regulating coin, prove with equal force that they ought not to be at liberty to substitute a paper medium in the place of coin. Had every State a right to regulate the value of its coin, there might be as many different currencies as States; and thus the intercourse among them would be impeded; retrospective alterations in its value might be made, and thus the citizens of other States be injured, and animosities be kindled among the States themselves. The subjects of foreign powers might suffer from the same cause, and hence the Union be discredited and embroiled by the indifference of a single member. No one of these mischiefs is less incident to a power in the States to emit paper money, than to coin gold or silver. The power to make any thing but gold and silver a tender in payment of debts, is withdrawn from the States, on the same principle with that of striking of paper currency.
Bills of attainder, ex post facto laws, and laws impairing the obligation of contracts, are contrary to the first principles of the social compact, and to every principle of sound legislation. The two former are expressly prohibited by the declarations prefixed to some of the State Constitutions, and all of them are prohibited by the spirit and scope of these fundamental charters. Our own experience has taught us nevertheless, that additional fences against these dangers ought not to be omitted. Very properly therefore have the Convention added this constitutional bulwark in favor of personal security and private rights; and I am much deceived if they have not in so doing as faithfully consulted the genuine sentiments, as the undoubted interests of their Constituents. The sober people of America are weary of the fluctuating policy which has directed the public councils. They have seen
with regret and with indignation, that sudden changes and legislative interferences in cases affecting personal rights, become jobs in the hands of enterprising and influential speculators; and inures to the more industrious and less informed part of the community. They have seen too, that Legislative interference is but the first link of a long chain of repetitions; every subsequent interference being naturally produced by the effects of the preceding. They very rightly infer, therefore, that some thorough reform is wanting which will banish speculations on public measures, inspire general prudence and industry, and give a regular course to the business of society. The prohibition, with respect to titles of nobility, is copied from the Articles of Confederation, and needs no comment.
2. "No State shall, without the consent of the Congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing its inspection laws, and the net produce of all duties and imposts laid by any State on imports or exports, shall be for the Treasury of the United States; and all such laws shall be subject to the revision and control of the Congress. No State shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty on tonnage, keep troops or ships of war in time of peace; enter into any agreement or compact with another State, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay."
The restraint on the power of the States over imports and exports is enforced by all the arguments which prove the necessity of submitting the regulation of trade to the Federal Councils. It is needless therefore to remark further on this head, than that the manner in which the restraint is qualified, seems well calculated at once to secure to the States a reasonable discretion in providing for the convenience of their imports and exports, and to the United States a reasonable check against the abuse of this discretion. The remaining particulars of this clause, fall within reasonings which are either so obvious, or have been so fully developed, that they may be passed over without remark.
The sixth and last clause consists of the several powers and provisions by which efficacy is given to all the rest.
1. "Of these the first is the power to make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States."
Few parts of the Constitution have been assailed with more intemperance than this; yet on a fair investigation of it, no part can appear more completely invulnerable. Without the substance of this power, the whole Constitution would be a dead letter. Those who object to the article therefore as a part of the Constitution, can only mean that the form of the provision is improper. But have they considered whether a better form could have been substituted?
There are four other possible methods which the Convention might have taken on this subject. They might have copied the second article of the existing Confederation which would have prohibited the exercise of any power not expressly delegated; they might have attempted a positive enumeration of the powers comprehended under the general terms "necessary and proper;" they might have attempted a negative enumeration of them, by specifying the powers excepted from the general definition: They might have been altogether silent on the subject; leaving these necessary and proper powers to construction and inference.
Had the Convention taken the first method of adopting the second article of Confederation; it is evident that the new Congress would be continually exposed as their predecessors have been to the alternative of construing the term "expressly" with so much rigor as to disarm the Government of all real authority whatever, or with so much latitude as to destroy altogether the force of the restriction. It would be easy to shew if it were necessary, that no important power, delegated by the articles of Confederation, has been or can be executed by Congress, without recurring more or less to the doctrine of construction or implication. As the powers delegated under the new system are most extensive, the Government which is to administer it would find itself still more distressed with the alternative of betraying the public interest by doing nothing; or of violating the Constitution by exercising powers, indispensably necessary and proper; but at the same time, not expressly granted.
Had the Convention attempted a positive enumeration of the powers necessary and proper for carrying their other powers into effect; the attempt would have involved a complete digest of laws on every subject to which the Constitution relates; accommodated too, not only to the existing state of things, but to all the possible changes which futurity may produce: For in every new application of a general power, the
particular powers, which are the means of attaining the object of the general power, must always necessarily vary with that object; and be often properly varied, whilst the object remains the same.
Had they attempted to enumerate the particular powers or means, not necessary or proper for carrying the general powers into execution, the task would have been no less chimerical; and would have been liable to this further objection; that every defect in the enumeration, would have been equivalent to a positive grant of authority. If, to avoid this consequence they had attempted a partial enumeration of the exceptions, and described the residue by the general terms, not necessary or proper: It must have happened that the enumeration would comprehend a few of the excepted powers only; that these would be such as would be least likely to be assumed or tolerated, because the enumeration would of course select such as would be least necessary or proper, and that the unnecessary and improper powers included in the residuum, would be less forcibly excepted, than if no partial enumeration had been made.
Had the Constitution been silent on this head, there can be no doubt that all the particular powers, requisite as means of executing the general powers, would have resulted to the Government, by unavoidable implication. No axiom is more clearly established in law, or in reason, than that wherever the end is required, the means are authorised; wherever a general power to do a thing is given, every particular power necessary for doing it, is included. Had this last method, therefore been pursued by the Convention, every objection now urged against their plan, would remain in all its plausibility; and the real inconvenience would be incurred, of not removing a pretext which may be seized on critical occasions for drawing into question the essential powers of the Union.
If it be asked, what is to be the consequence, in case the Congress shall misconstrue this part of the Constitution, and exercise powers not warranted by its true meaning? I answer the same as if they should misconstrue or enlarge any other power vested in them, as if the general power had been reduced to particulars, and any one of these were to be violated; the same in short, as if the State Legislatures should violate their respective Constitutional authorities. In the first instance, the success of the usurpation will depend on the Executive and Judiciary departments, which are to expound and give effect to the Legislative acts; and in the last resort, a remedy must be obtained from the people, who can, by the election of more faithful Representatives, annul the acts of the usurpers. The truth is, that this ultimate redress may be more confided in against unconstitutional acts of the Federal, than of the State Legislatures, for this plain reason, that every such act of the former, will be an invasion of the rights of the latter, these will be ever ready to mark the innovation, to sound the alarm to the people, and to exert their local influence in effecting a change of Federal Representatives. There being no such intermediate body between the State Legislatures and the people, interested in watching the conduct of the former, violations of the State Constitution are more likely to remain unnoticed and unredressed.
2. "This Constitution and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land, and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."
The indiscreet zeal of the adversaries to the Constitution, has betrayed them into an attack on this part of it also, without which it would have been evidently and radically defective. To be fully sensible of this we need only suppose for a moment, that the supremacy of the State Constitutions had been left compleat by a saving clause in their favor.
In the first place, as these Constitutions invest the State Legislatures with absolute sovereignty, in all cases not excepted by the existing articles of Confederation, all the authorities contained in the proposed Constitution, so far as they exceed those enumerated in the Confederation, would have been annulled, and the new Congress would have been reduced to the same impotent condition with their predecessors.
In the next place, as the Constitutions of some of the States do not even expressly and fully recognize the existing powers of the Confederacy, an express saving of the supremacy of the former, would in such States have brought into question, every power contained in the proposed Constitution.
In the third place, as the Constitutions of the States differ much from each other, it might happen that a treaty or national law of great and equal importance to the States, would interfere with some and not with
other Constitutions, and would consequently be valid in some of the States at the same time that it would have no effect in others.
In fine, the world would have seen for the first time, a system of Government founded on an inversion of the fundamental principles of all Government; it would have seen the authority of the whole society every where subordinate to the authority of the parts; it would have seen a monster in which the head was under the direction of the members.
3. "The Senators and Representatives, and the members of the several State Legislatures; and all Executive and Judicial officers, both of the United States, and the several States shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution."
It has been asked, why it was thought necessary, that the State Magistracy should be bound to support the Federal Constitution, and unnecessary, that a like oath should be imposed on the officers of the United States in favor of the State Constitutions?
Several reasons might be assigned for the distinction. I content myself with one which is obvious and conclusive. The members of the Federal Government will have no agency in carrying the State Constitutions into effect. The members and officers of the State Governments, on the contrary, will have an essential agency in giving effect to the Federal Constitution. The election of the President and Senate, will depend in all cases, on the Legislatures of the several States. And the election of the House of Representatives, will equally depend on the same authority in the first instance; and will probably, for ever be conducted by the officers and according to the laws of the States.
4. Among the provisions for giving efficacy to the Federal powers, might be added, those which belong to the Executive and Judicial departments: But as these are reserved for particular examination in another place, I pass them over in this.
We have now reviewed in detail all the articles composing the sum or quantity of power delegated by the proposed Constitution to the Federal Government; and are brought to this undeniable conclusion, that no part of the power is unnecessary or improper for accomplishing the necessary objects of the Union. The question therefore, whether this amount of power shall be granted or not, resolves itself into another question, whether or not a Government commensurate to the exigencies of the Union, shall be established; or in other words, whether the Union itself shall be preserved.

This Day is Published, By HUGH GAINE, At the BIBLE, in HANOVER-SQUARE,  THE  Conductor Generalis; OR the office, duty and authority of Justices of the Peace, High Sheriffs, Under Sheriffs, Co- roners, Constables, Gaolers, Jurymen, and Over- seers of the Poor. As also the office of Clerks of Affize, and of the Peace, &c. Compiled chiefly from Barns' Justice, and several other books on those subjects. By JAMES PARKER, Late one of the Justices of the Peace for Middlesex County, in New-Jersey; and now revised and adapted to the United States of America. By a GENTLEMAN of the LAW.
The whole alphabetically digested under the se- veral titles; with a table, directing to the ready finding out the proper matter under those titles.
To which are added, [Above what is in any other edition of this work:] The Act called the TEN POUND ACT, and the MILITIA LAW of the State of New-York.
THE favorable reception this book has met with for a long series of years, has been abundantly evinced by the very general and extensive ci- culation of it before the revolution, and that its uti- lity has not been lessened by the change of go- vernment consequent upon that important event, is manifest from the frequent enquiries for it since. — Altho' the editor is not so presumptuous as to sup- pose that the book is free from defects, yet he is per- suaded that the publication of it, as it is, will ren- der it more acceptable than it would have been, e- ven in a more perfect state, after the delay which must inevitably have attended a minute and critical examination of all its parts. The laws of England are so interwoven in the codes of most, if not of all the United States, that it was impossible to avoid citing authorities, which, tho' at the first view, they seem appropriated to that country; yet, upon a nearer examination, by an easy analogy, will be found equally applicable to these states. To have omitted them would have been to sacrifice substance to form, and real usefulness to seeming propriety. The citing of parliament in their original form, has likewise an appearance of impropriety; but something must be left to the reader, and he will easily distinguish between such as are in force and such as are not, in the state or commonwealth of which he is a citizen. It has been a general rule, while these states were Colonies, that all English statutes passed before we had legislatures of our own, like the common law of England, extended here; those passed after that period, not. Many statutes, however, will be found in this edition, of the latter description, and the reason is obvious. In the state of New-York, a number of those statutes have been re-enacted, and if this book had been intended sole- ly for that state, they would have appeared in the form of acts of its own legislature; but as some of those statutes have likewise been adopted in other states, it was thought advisable to cite them in their original, rather than in their adopted, local form. Besides, as this adoption has, in different states, been various, in some entire, in others partial; it would have rendered this book rather perplexing than in- structing, to have marked these vouchers. Experience is the best test of the usefulness of a work of this kind, and the Editor most cheerfully submits his labors to this issue, in full confidence, that as well magistrates as the ministerial officers of the criminal laws of these states, will therein find an ea- sy, compendious guide, in most cases which come under their guidance, or call for their attention; and that such gentlemen, not in official characters, who wish to obtain a general knowledge of the laws of their country, will find the means of informa- tion in this book: Nor will it be altogether useless to professional men, not only on account of the prece- dents, but of the authorities cited from books of the highest reputation, and even of the credit of this book itself in the former edition; a credit which the Editor trusts will be found not impaired in the present edition.
The act called the Ten Pound Act, and the Militia Law of the state of New-York, are printed under their proper titles at large; the Editor would have been ready to have done the same with respect to the laws in the other states, upon the same subjects of popular use; but this would have greatly swelled the bulk, and enhanced the price of this work; and he hopes, that this seeming partiality to his own state, will be excused by his readers in the other states, whilst it renders this book the more acceptable to his own immediate fellow citizens. There are likewise various other titles under which acts of the legislature of the state of New-York have been ei- ther cited or referred to. A complete work would have been a visionary attempt. General references was all that could be expected; and it all is not con- tained in it, that might be wished, at least it is not omitted, nothing is omitted consistent with the generality of the object.
It may be proper to say a word about the edition of the laws of the state of New-York, and of the acts of parliament in force here, now under revision, which may possibly be supposed to supersede the uti- lity of this work, as to this state: But a moment's re- flection will evince, that this is a mistaken idea. — When that important work is completed, as it doubtless will be with great ability, the situation of the acts relative to the objects of this book, will still be a difficulty the same in kind, tho' perhaps not in degree, as at the first publication of the Conductor. — The only difference between the acts to be published and the same acts cited in this book, will be in the title and phraseology: The matter and substance will continue to be identically the same. Besides, the adjourned cases, and the readings and expositions of these acts, would still remain to be sought in the mass of voluminous writings upon those subjects; which would instance the necessity of a law library, and a laborious examination, when, after all, the result would be no more than what may be obtained from a single, small portable volume. It is deemed unnecessary to reprint the preface to the old edition of this book, or to give a particular detail of the method pursued herein, because it is substantially the same as in the former edition, and in Barns' Justice. This method has become familiar to the public by long experience, uniform habit, and reiterated prac- tice; and as the Editor rests his hopes of the success of this work upon its own intrinsic usefulness, he will not, by an elaborate or pompous preface, attempt to enhance his own merit, or to prepossess the judg- ment of his readers; nor does he arrogate the merit of novelty, whilst he candidly confesses, that he has confined himself principally to the humble office of adhering to a tract already beaten, sanctioned by general approbation.
