The buying and selling of Slaves as property across inter state lines served as the animus which divided how States within the Union interpreted the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. Does Washington have the power to establish "establishment" monopolies? Andrew Jackson in 1825, a Jeffersonian, definitely ruled NOT. All post Civil War governments have embraced Hamiltons idea of the role of the Central Government vs. the States. In 1913 the Wilson Administration established the 3rd National Bank called the Federal Reserve; this reversal of Andrew Jacksons' free banking policy caused America to duplicate the economic policies of Europe; Washington now became the king maker of Corporate monopolies.<br /><br />Teddy Roosevelt's anti trust laws equally applied in the inverse! Washington not only had the power to break up monopolies but it had the power to establish monopolies. This crucial peace of the Pax American empire permitted the Wilson government to impose a Central Bank and completely uproot free banking established by the Jackson Administration in 1825.<br /><br />The direction of democracy as opposed to Republic post Civil War Washington clearly intended. The Supreme Court ruled in the 1880s that Corporations existed as People. The Wilson government in 1912 and 1913 passed the 17th Amendment which supersedes Article I, §3, Clauses 1 and 2 of the Constitution. State Legislatures lost the power to appoint US Senators to Washington; a key provision of States Rights the post Civil War Yankee government of empire had negated. The US Constitution nor the Declaration of Independence ever once refer to the American Republic as a democracy. The Framers of the Constitution limited the voting franchise strictly to land owning white males. The expansion of the voting franchise defines the democratic sufferage movements of the Wilson era and Martin Luther King.<br /><br />Post Civil War America the democracy as opposed to pre Civil War America the Republic transformed politics in Washington by silently establishing the illegal 4th Branch of the Federal Government - the lobbies. The lobbies serve the interests of the establishment Federally created Corporate monopolies. Recall that a democracy elected the Fascist Nazis into power! Post Civil War Washington politics jabbered about cleaning up Washington. But this political rhetoric hid the corrosive corruption which defines the Patronage Lobby system of the American democracy. Corporations buy and sell politicians judges and police in the American democracy. The post Civil War Yankee government have slipped down the icy path of exchanging a democracy for a Republic and Socialist Fascism for freedom.Moshehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712178495758380693noreply@blogger.com
