Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book sets out to explore the powers of the American federal government as it was understood in its historical context in 1821. The author argues that a far greater threat to American democracy lay in the rise of state power over national power; noting that the powers granted to the federal government were intentionally designed to be responsibly limited in their ability to encroach on the lives of average Americans while the powers of state governments were more deeply arbitrary. The book argues passionately that the trend of American governance should not be toward greater state power, but towards a more robustly empowered federal government, which the author believes was designed to be the servant of the people rather than the states.
