Note 1185 — Chapter VIII

See vol. i, 310-12, of this work; also Marshall: Life of George Washington, 2d ed. ii, 105-06, 109-10, 125. And see Madison's "Preface to Debates in the Convention of 1787." (Records of the Federal Convention: Farrand, iii, 547.) "The want of authy. in Congs. to regulate Commerce had produced in Foreign nations particularly G. B. a monopolizing policy injurious to the trade of the U. S. and destructive to their navigation.... The same want of a general power over Commerce led to an exercise of this power separately, by the States, wch not only proved abortive, but engendered rival, conflicting and angry regulations."
