Excerpt from The Proposed Reorganization of the United States Judicial System: An Address Delivered at the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium at Youngstown, Ohio, March 6, 1937The American colonies, after the Revolution, consisted of thirteen separate independent states. Each of these colonies had its own constitution, made and enforced its own laws, collected its own taxes, etc. It soon became apparent to the colonies that some form of union was necessary or they would probably lose the liberty they had won. They finally banded together in a con federation. The powers they conferred upon the confederated government were very few. Under it each of the colonies passed its own laws, regulated its own affairs, and collected all of the taxes which could be levied. They gave to the Federal Govern ment only a general supervision relating to money, foreign ai fairs, etc. The colonies retained so much of the governing power that the confederation was practically without authority to preserve its own existence. It finally became apparent that a more perfect union of some nature must of necessity be formed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
