else of certain powers to an agent for
their mutual benefit; and limited and
restricted its rights and powers by M IS
instrument Of writing, called the Con-
stitution. No power was conferred y
upon this agent to cali tic S states to
It's tribunals; no power was com uTret Tsf
upon it to enforce them into! subh,is- &
