Do these principles, in fine, require that the powers of the general government should be limited, and that, beyond this limit, the States should be left in possession of their sovereignty and independence? DO THESE PRINCIPLES IN FINE REQUIRE THAT THE POWERS OF THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE LIMITED AND THAT BEYOND THIS LIMIT THE STATES SHOULD BE LEFT IN POSSESSION OF THEIR SEVERITY AND INDEPENDENCE
se cases the powers of the Confederation operate immediately on the persons and interests of individual citizens. Do these fundamental principles require, particularly, that no tax should be levied without the intermediate agency of the States? The Confederation itself authorizes a direct tax, to a certain extent, on the post office. The power of coinage has been so construed by Congress as to levy a tribute immediately from that source also. But pretermitting these instances, was it not an acknowledged object of the convention and the universal expectation of the people, that the regulation of trade should be submitted to the general government in such a form as would render it an immediate source of general revenue? Had not Congress repeatedly recommended this measure as not inconsistent with the fundamental principles of the Confederation? Had not every State but one; had not New York herself, so far complied with the plan of Congress as to recognize the PRINCIPLE of the innovation? RATE IN ALL THESE CASES THE POWERS OF THE CONFEDERATION OPERATE IMMEDIATELY ON THE PERSONS AND INTERESTS OF INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS DO THESE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES REQUIRE PARTICULARLY THAT NO TAX SHOULD BE LEVIED WITHOUT THE INTERMEDIATE AGENCY OF THE STATES THE CONFEDERATION ITSELF AUTHORIZES A DIRECT TAX TO A CERTAIN EXTENT ON THE POST OFFICE THE POWER OF COINAGE HAS BEEN SO CONSTRUED BY CONGRESS AS TO LEVY A TRIBUTE IMMEDIATELY FROM THAT SOURCE ALSO BUT PRETERMITTING THESE INSTANCES WAS IT NOT AN ACKNOWLEDGED OBJECT OF THE CONVENTION AND THE UNIVERSAL EXPECTATION OF THE PEOPLE THAT THE REGULATION OF TRADE SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TO THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT IN SUCH A FORM AS WOULD RENDER IT AN IMMEDIATE SOURCE OF GENERAL REVENUE HAD NOT CONGRESS REPEATEDLY RECOMMENDED THIS MEASURE AS NOT INCONSISTENT WITH THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF THE CONFEDERATION HAD NOT EVERY STATE BUT ONE HAD NOT NEW YORK HERSELF SO FAR COMPLIED WITH THE PLAN OF CONGRESS AS TO RECOGNIZE THE PRINCIPLE OF THE INNOVATION
