All things were ready. and the time had come. The people. havinglearned the weakness of division and the danger of delay. formed a more perfect Union by ordaining and establishing a Constitution and organizing a Government with plenary powers concerning all matters which had occasioned them most trouble in their divided condition. chief among which were taxation and commerce. All legislative authority of the new Governmentwas vested in a Congress. and in the enumeration of many powers granted. the first relates to laying and collecting taxes. the second. to borrowing money. the third. to regulating commerce. the fourth. to naturalization and bankruptcy. the fifth. to money and weights and measures. Afterexpressly mentioning these and many others. the last grant of power is this: To make all laws which shall be necessary for carrying into execution the foregoing powers. and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States. or in any department or officer thereof. The government of a monarchy is the machinery by which the imperial will is applied inthe laws.
