Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This rigorous legal text from the 1800s examines the constitutionality of an 1862 act allowing the United States government to issue paper money and make it legal tender for both public and private debts. The author, a renowned judge and legal scholar, argues that the act violates the Constitution because it gives Congress power to create two standards of value and force private creditors to receive paper money that may be worth less than the standard value of a dollar at the time of payment. The author contends that this is an unconstitutional transfer of property from creditors to debtors and that it undermines the purpose of the Constitution, which is to create and maintain a uniform and pure metallic standard of value throughout the Union. This book offers significant insights into the historical and legal debate surrounding the government's power to issue paper money and regulate the value of currency, making it a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of American law and finance.
