| The state governments will secure the people against usurpation by national authority, | 126 | ||
| Extent of the country a further security, | 126 | ||
| No large military force can be raised with our present resources, | 127 | ||
| XXIX.—Concerning the Militia, | 127 | ||
| Uniformity of organization and discipline necessary, | 127 | ||
| Power of the government to call out the posse comitatus discussed, | 128 | ||
| The idea of danger to liberty from the militia refuted, | 129, 130 | ||
| Disciplined militia will lessen the necessity of a standing force, | 130 | ||
| Appointment of officers by the states a safeguard to liberty, | 130 | ||
| XXX, XXXI, XXXII, XXXIII, XXXIV, XXXV, XXXVI.—Concerning Taxation, | 132 | ||
| A general power of taxation requisite, | 132 | ||
| Money the vital principle of the body politic, | 132 | ||
| Defect of the confederation in this respect, | 132 | ||
| No remedy but in a change of system, | 133 | ||
| Distinction between internal and external taxation unwise, | 133 | ||
| Necessities of a nation equal to its resources, | 134 | ||
| Impolicy of relying on requisitions on the states, | 134 | ||
| Necessity of ample revenue power in time of war, | 134 | ||
| Such power would give the government credit abroad, | 135 | ||
| First principles in politics, as in science, should command the assent of all, | 136 | ||
| Reasoning showing the necessity of a general power of taxation repeated, | 137 | ||
| Objection, that such power would interfere with the power of states to raise revenue, answered, | 138 | ||
| Danger of encroachment by the state, on the national government, greater than the opposite, | 139 | ||
| The constitution secures to the states ample power to raise their own revenue, | 139 | ||
| The exclusive powers of the federal government are limited, | 140 | ||
| Power of imposing taxes, except on exports and imports, concurrent, | 141 | ||
| Concurrent jurisdiction necessarily results from division of sovereignty, | 142 | ||
| Objections to the incidental powers of the government answered, | 142 | ||
| The clause objected to, confers no powers not before granted, | 143 | ||
| The power to tax implies the power to make laws to enforce collection, | 143 | ||
| The express grant of incidental powers introduced through caution, | 144 | ||
| The government must be its own judge when to exercise those powers, | 144 | ||
| It is no objection that the laws of the union are to be supreme, | 145 | ||
| Only constitutional laws will be supreme, | 145 | ||
| Absurdity of denying the possibility of co-ordinate power, | 146 | ||
| Illustrations from Roman history, | 146 | ||
| Objects ot federal government less limited than those of state, | 147 | ||
| Ample revenue needful in time of war, | 148 | ||
| And also to pay debts contracted in time of war, | 149 | ||
| Concurrent jurisdiction the only safe substitute for subordination of state to national authority, | 150 | ||
| Objections to restricting federal taxation to specific objects, | 150 | ||
| It would lead to inequality of public burthens, | 150 | ||
| Duties on the specific articles would be carried to excess, | 151 | ||
| This would lead to smuggling and other irregularities, | 151 | ||
| Drawing revenue from imposts only, productive of inequality among the states, | 151 | ||
| Objection that congress will not contain all classes of citizens answered, | 152 | ||
| Merchants will usually be selected to represent mechanics and manufacturers, | 153 | ||
