the French, Spanish and Texas set

"When one gives his agent author
ity to employ his money and credit and
to use his name in one kind of BUSH
ness, he need not forbid the agent Ia
devote them to another, This restric-
ton is always implied. If the agent
is set to buy and sell grain he may not

"By the constitution, the people es-
tablished for themselves n plan of gov
eminent. The objects to be effected
are clearly set forth, The, scope and
design Of the instrument are, plain.
They chose agents, for them aud in
their name, TO accomplish such pnr-
poses by the exercise OF certain powers
entrusted to them. These agents may
DO false to their trust by using those
powers for different ends, or so alter
the scope and design Of the enterprise,
as well as by doing what they are not
authorized to do at all, 'i 4
"The plan and purpose OF our Union
might be entirely perverted by
wrongful use Of the power entrusted
to the federal government merely to
enable 1t to carry them out
"No limita ton is expressed of the
war power. May congress involve us
in n war for mere conquest or oppres-

the Bourbons to the throne OF France?

tory IS not restricted in terms. May
grant Arizona to Japan, or
Oklahoma to China?

they merely enlarge our view of the
subject we are testing.
'Surely mono of these things could
be done consistently with the consti-
button. And this is because our gov
eminent is not absolute even in the
exercise Of the powers delegated to it,
but is bound to use them only to fur
ther the designs Of its founders
"That design was to secure the
blessings of liberty to them and their
descendants by means of more per-
feet union of the communities founded |
and to be. founded by them on this
sentiment. 1t is new states which
nay be admitted, not other states.
They are the United States of Ameri-

License against invasion and protection
against domestic violence are provided.
