ROME GIRL WRITES ON
FEDORAL CONSTITUTION.
(CoBtinued from 1st page)
oion treasury was to be created
at the expense of all the colonies
aud congress bad the power to
deal with Indians, with question
of peace and war and with boon
dary disputes. This plan waa
rejected, but it ‘‘started tbe bail
rolling. “
Juue 7.1776 Richard Heorj
Lee introduced a resolution ii
congress declarirg that “these
United Colonies aie, aud of rtghi
ought to be. free and independ-
ent states ” On Juno 12, Con-
gress resolved that a cominitt* e
oe appointed to considor and
prepare the lorm of a Confeder-
ation to be entered into by the
Colonies This resolutun re-
sulted id the drafting, by a com
nittee composed of a delegate
from each Colony, except New
I ersey, of a plan of Confedera-
tion known as the Dicaenaon
1 raft This document provideo
ror the control of commerce by
the stites, and permitted each
-late to tend as many as seven
ind not less than two delegates
to tiie Confederate Congress,
living the enure del.gatun
trum each state only one vote,
tnd making amendment possible
>nly with the consent of all the
-tates. The question o* repres-
entation, taxation of property tx
slaves, regulation of commerce
and control of western lands de-
veloped such differerces of op-
inion that numerous amendment
delayed the adoption of this
draft until November 15, 1777
It was then sent to tbe states for
ratification.
There were many defects in
the Articles of Confedeiation,
vhich later became apparent to
Congress. It made no provision
for an executive or a judicial de-
partment. Congress was to be
chosen by the state legislatures
ind was to be responsible only
to them. Tbe delegates from
aeh state should have only one
vote, and the votes of nine statea
vvere necessary to carry any
ntasure. No power waa grant-
ed to congress to collect, either
directly or indirectly, taxes or
to raise an army. These weak-
nesses became apparent only
after the pressure of war had
>een removed.
The first defectof tbo Article*
of Confederation to be noticed
was the method provided for the
control of commerce. The navi
ration of the Potomic river was
i constant sou i ce of trouble be-
ween Maryland and Virginia,
he one controlling the mouth ol
he stream and the othar its up-
>er course The tariff policy o
• aeh state was- directed with si
•ye single to its own welfaie
md this resulted in commercial
ondltions that were becoming
uinous After making unsuc-
essful attempts to adjust theii
differences, these states, in 1785,
sent commissioners to Alexand-
ria Virginia They adjourned to
vlount Vernon, and there dis-
cussed the whole question of
nterstate commerce as it appli-
ed, not only to Maryland and
Vi rginia, but also to all oth«i
states concerned.

AnsapeH*. the purpose of ^Jiieh
wsi to consider tbe question of
both National and domestic com
merce. Five states sent dele-
gates to this meeting and they
drew up a report recommending
a general eon vention to be held
at Philadelphia in May, 1787.
The parposeof this meeting was
to be tbe amending of tbe Artie
,le* of the Confederation At the
appointed time, delegates gath
ered from ail the states except
Rhode Island Such great nun
as Alexander Hamilton, George
Washington and Madison weie
present at this conference.
Madison is justly called 'the
father of the Constitution.’’ He
drafted the “Virginia Plann” as
a working basis for the Conven
tlon. Alexander Hamilton wield-
ed a tremendous influence in
liunebing the new government
when it was once formed, and
Benjamin Franklin, with his
p ofound wisdom and geniel wit,
was a powerful factor in the
Convention.
The convention had not been
iu session long before it found
Itself limited by nature of the
• til, it had been calltd to re-
vise the incapable of suitable a
jieodinent, and tbe convention
b^gan to construct a new instru-
ment known as tbe “Coustitu-
fon.’’
Tbe first plan submitted wrs
brought forward by Edmund
Randolph, a member of the Vir-
g.r.a delegation. It provided
for a national government con-
a slice af a legislative body of
twe boss** chest n by the states
In propcrt:cc to population,and
for ;s;:c ». and executive bodies
apooitted by Congress. This
plan clearly favored the larger
states Several other plans
were submitted, but none prov-
ed satisfactory. Finally, after
along series of debates, tbe Vir
ginia plan was made a basis for
procedure. A compromise was
made, according to which tiie
states were to have eqau] repre-
sentationin the upper house and
proportional representation in
the upper bouse and proportion
al representation in the lower
bouse,
The next problem to be solved
was tbe apportioning of repre-
sentatives. This question brou
gbt with it the slavery question
In counting the population for
the purposes of representation
In the lower house, should Un
negro slaves be counted? The
South very naturally said “yes”
while the North said “no” II
the matter of direct taxes, also,
it was proposed that the sums
levied against each state be in
proportion to its population, in-
cluding negroes. Tne South nov
said “no,” while the North sail
‘ yes”. It was settled by thi
three- fifths compromise, which
provided that three-fifths of the
slave should be counted, both in
reference to tvxatu n and rep
resentation.
I have already show n that oie
>f the chief defects of the Con-
federation waa its lack of pow
er over eommeice.
The issue was settled by y
comp’omise providing that Con
gress should have the right to
regulate commerce, but uo right
to prohibit slave trade for twen-
ty years. Export duties or taxes
were forbidden.
After agreement upon the
main features of the Constitu-
tiot, it was transmitted to Con-
gress and to the various states
to be acted upon by state con-
ventions.
By tbe terms of the Constitu-
tion, when oioe states should
ratily it, it should go into effect
between tiiore states. In a
short time after the ratifying
conventions met, Delaware,
Pennsylvania, Geoigia, Conneti-
cut and New Jersey bad ratified.
There was much controversy
over the question in Massachus-
etts, but that state finally ratifi-
ed In February, 1766. Mary-

Iq the Constitution, congress
vas given jurisdiction over tax-
ition, money, coinage, commerce
ratents, copy rights, post offices
and weights and measures. (In
addition to the powers exercised
mder the Articles of Confeder-
tlion ) There are three depart-
ments; the legislative executive
end judical. Finch department
i< given power over the others
end each is given a means of de
fense against the others The
President wields a negative pow-
*r through the veto and he is
subjeetto impeachment by Con-
gress. Through the power of
pardon, the president exercises
a judicial function, and he ap-
points the justices of the su-
preme court. The legislative
power is vested in Congress, and
in the Senate’s right to ratify or
reject treaties. The house, a
body representing the majority
of the people, all of the states
wield the initative in taxation.
The supreme court and inferior
courts exercise the judicial pow-
er, and whenever the supreme
court declares a law unconst.it u
tional it exercises a power to de
feat legislation Conprers can
declare unconstitutici si a state
law that involves the federal
constitution, at.d also has the
power to settle disputes between
states.
Every true American feels a
reverance for our noble fore fath-
ers who thought, not of that day
aud time only, but also of tbe
generation to come when they
constructed that great docu-
ment of American indepeadtfiee
and liberty. Our hearts swell
with pride as we read the latro-
duction to the Constitution:
“We, the people of tbe U. S.f
in order to form a more perfect
union, establish justice, insure
domestic tranquillity, provide
for the common defense, pro-
mote the general welfare, and se
cure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and ourp ospefity, de
in dam and publish this Consti-
tution for the U. S. A.”
