Synopsis

""Lecture On The Implied Powers Of The Constitution"" is a book written by George Ticknor Curtis in 1885. The book provides a detailed analysis of the concept of implied powers in the United States Constitution. Curtis argues that the Constitution grants certain powers to the federal government, but also implies additional powers that are necessary for the government to carry out its duties effectively. The book is based on a lecture that Curtis delivered at the Lowell Institute in Boston in 1884. It covers a range of topics related to implied powers, including the history of the concept, the role of the Supreme Court in interpreting the Constitution, and the limits of implied powers. Curtis also discusses several key Supreme Court cases that have helped to shape the understanding of implied powers, including McCulloch v. Maryland and Gibbons v. Ogden.Overall, ""Lecture On The Implied Powers Of The Constitution"" is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of an important aspect of American constitutional law. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Constitution, the role of the federal government, and the ongoing debate over the scope of implied powers in the United States.Delivered By Special Request To The Law School Of Georgetown University, In Washington, D. C., On Monday Evening, February 16, 1885.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
