the question will be brought before the court
originally and directly, that Is, without an
intermediary, thus insuring that the hearing
will be expedited While more than one con-
tention will enter into the controversy, the
point chiefly relied upon to overthrow the
amendment is that this measure. destructive
Of the police power of the States, docs not
amend the system OF government erected by
the Constitution. but completely alters and
transforms that system" In support OF this
contention. it will be urged that the tenth
amendment to the Constitution specifically
reserves Ito the States or to the people"
powers not delegated to the United States nor
prohibited to the States; hence. the conclu-
sion follows that Legislatures acting without
explicit popular sanction do not possess au-
thority to ratify revolutionary proceedings
which. instead OF being proper amendments
of the Constitution, are destructive Of it.
Another contention is that the amendment
was illegally submitted in that it was not
authorized by ''two-thirds OF both houses
but rather b. two-thirds Of the members
present and voting.
