Back to the Con Stitution

THE constitution of the United States drafted
in 1877, did not give the supreme court the power to
declare laws unconstitutional.
The convention which met at Carpenters hall, Phila
depha and which framed the constitution of the United
States debated the question whether the courts should be
given the power to declare laws unconstitutionl 1t
decided that judges should not be given this power The
constitution it finally adopted by the convention
and ratified by the states did not contain any clause Civ
ing the courts this power The constitution has been
amended to give the courts this power.
But, beginning with Chief Justice Marshall who served
from 1901 to 1885, the courts began to the right
declare laws invad-in other words the judges usurped
the power to make laws, which the constitution intended
only congress to have.
Recently the supreme court has knocked the income
tax law, the child labor law, and the womans minimum
wage law This has caused many people to think that
something should be done about it.
So La Toilette and the progressves propose to add
amendment to the constitution giving congress the right to
pass law the veto of the supreme court They want
congress- whose members elected by the people, solely
to have the awmakng power, and to limit the supreme
court to its original and proper function of trying
appealed from the lower courts the constitution of 1877
intended
La Toilette and the progressves want to preserve the
American system of government They want to go back
to the Constitution of the Fathers.
