Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the legal history of the United States postal system, from its roots in the colonial era to its expansion in the 20th century. Congress's power to establish post offices and post roads, granted by the Constitution, has been interpreted broadly to allow for various functions beyond the mere delivery of mail. These include banking services, such as money orders and postal savings banks, and the potential nationalization of telegraph and telephone systems. The book also examines the use of federal control over the mails to limit the spread of certain ideas and materials, as well as the proposals to extend federal authority over subjects not directly related to the postal system. Through an examination of legislative and judicial history, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the constitutional expansion of the postal power in the United States. It sheds light on the ongoing debate over the proper scope of federal authority and the balance between government control and individual freedom.
