Էջ 5 - We admit, as all must admit, that the powers of the government are limited, and that its limits are not to be transcended. But we think the sound construction of the constitution must allow to the national legislature that discretion, with respect to the means by which the powers it confers are to be carried into execution, which will enable that body to perform the high duties assigned to it, in the manner most beneficial to the people.
Էջ 1 - Without the Constitution and the Union, we could not have attained the result; but even these are not the primary cause of our great prosperity. There is something back of these, entwining itself more closely about the human heart. That something, is the principle of "Liberty to all...

Էջ 18 - ... public schools. Thus the national government was a prime force in making possible what is now taken to be the most local function of all, primary and secondary education. More important, the nation, before it was fully organized, established by this action a first principle of American federalism: the national government would use its superior resources to initiate and support national programs, principally administered by the states and localities.
Էջ 6 - Federal-State relations is the cardinal question of our Federal system of government. It is not a question that can be resolved once for all time. Emphasis shifts from generation to generation as the American people fashion their Government to meet the needs of changing times and changing conditions. Prior to 1900, the question was largely a legal problem. Since that time, it has become increasingly an economic problem. Our Government today is very different in structure and in operation from that...
