Will quote from the federaha:
I'm the convention which framed the Consutn-
ton, Edmund randolph proposed 70 give the
Federal Government power TO call forth the
force OF the Union against any member OF the
Union falling to fufil It's duties under the articles
thereof Mr.. Patterson also desired 70 De m
serted IN the constitution; And II any state or
body OF men IN any State, shall oppose or prevent
the carrying into execution such acts or treaties
the Federal Executive shall be authorized to call
forth the powers OF the coniederated States or SO
| much thereof as may be necessary 10 compel oDe-
i dience to such acts, or am observance OF such
treaties. In these two instances the convention
was distinctly invited TO authorize the federa
Government to use force and coercive measure
against the States, but no such powers were au
thorlzed Not single member oi the conren
sion advocated force Hamilton, the strong Gov
eminent man, rejected and denounced resorting q
force Mr. Madison said the more he rehecte'
on the use OF force, the more he doubted the prac
ticabIlity, the justice and the efficacy oft.
AN Union OF the States containing such a.
ingredient (force or coercion) seemed TO provid
for ITS own destruction. The use OF force agains
