The Welfare Program That Led Directly To The Creation Of The US Constitution.
Where does it say that in the Constitution.
The 13 states were not as one it was a loose knit deal.
James Madison, chief author of the Cons. said it. Did you read the pieces.
Also, the anti-feds admitted it.
Here is Richard Henry Lee (or possibly Melancton Smith) writing as the Federal Farmer in opposition to the new federal government explaining why the Convention was called.
Our governments have been new and unsettled; and several legislatures, by making tender, suspension, and paper money laws, have given just cause of uneasiness to creditors. By these and other causes, several orders of men in the community have been prepared, by degrees, for a change of government. And this very abuse of power in the legislatures, which in some cases has been charged upon the democratic part of the community, has furnished aristocratical men with those very weapons, and those very means, with which, in great measure, they are rapidly effecting their favourite object….
The conduct of several legislatures, touching paper money, and tender laws, has prepared many honest men for changes in government, WHICH OTHERWISE THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF.”
James Madison wrote “Vices of the Political System of the United States” just before the Convention for the same reason: to explain why the Convention was being called and to lay out the national political “vices” that made a new government necessary. He wrote of 12 different vices. Paper money, only one of the 12, took up 1,200 of the 3,100 words, more than any other subject. This was nearly three times the number of words dedicated to the next leading subject. Freedom of speech, worship, and the press were not mentioned even once.
Or, as the Colliers said in “Decision in Philadelphia”
What concerned Madison MOST in “Vices” was not only that the states were flouting national regulations, but that they were treating unjustly certain minorities [the creditor class] within their own borders.
…Madison was especially troubled by the stay laws and tender laws and the paper money that so many of the plain people of the country were clamoring for. These laws, Madison believed, were “oppressing” the creditor minority.
