The Constitution establishes thlee separate divisions of the Government--legislative. executive. and judicialand their powers are separate and distinct. but the action of this Congress is destroying the legislative branch and conferring its powers upon the executive branch. This is so apparent that it needs no discussion. The Constitution confers certain powers upon Congress. which may be mentioned in substance: "To coin money. regulate its value. and fix the standards of weights and measures. to regulate interstate and foreign commerce. to establish post offices and post roads. to levy and collect taxes for the support of the Government. to establish uniform laws for naturalization.. to promote the progress of science and arts by issuing patents and copyrights to writers and inventors. to declare war and grant letters of marque and reprisal. to support armies and navies. to create courtsinferior to the Supreme Court. to make all laws necessary for carrying into execution the foregoing powers." These are the major powers conferred upon Congress. but not literally quoted. You can almost count them on the fingers of your hand. The Constitution could not have been adopted without guaranteeing to the States all the authority not specifically delegated to the General Government.
