ernment in all its forms, legislative, executive,
and judicial, and the Government, to the extent
| Of its pOwers acts upon the individual citizens
Of every State, and executes its own DEGREES by
the agency Of its own officers. In this respect
it differs entirely from the Government under
the old coTiedcraton, which was confined to
making requstions on the States in their SOW
ercign character. This lett it in the discretion
Of each whether to obey or refuse, and they
often declined to comply with such acquisitions.
1t then became necessary, for the purpose Of re-
moving the barrier, and IN order to form more
perfect union, to establish q government which
could act directly upon the people, and execute
its own laws without the intermediate agency Of
the States. This has been accomplished by the
Constitution Of the United States. In short the
Government created by the Constitution, and
drawing its authority from the sovereign people
Of each Of the several States, has precisely the
same right to exercise its power over the people
Of all States, in the enumerated cases, that each
one Of them possesses over subjects not dele.
gated to the United States, but reserved to the
States respectively or to the people to the extent
Of delegated powers The Constitution Of the
United States is as much part Of the COnsttu-
ton Of each, and is as binding on the people, o.
though it had been specifically inserted therein.
This Government, therefore, is great and pow
erful Government invested with all the attri-
