Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and political implications of the Interstate Commerce Commission, established in the late 19th century. It examines the Commission's efforts to gain autocratic control over the internal commerce of the United States. The author argues that granting such power would have far-reaching consequences, shifting responsibility for the commercial and industrial prosperity of the country to the federal government, overloading it with jurisdiction, and potentially leading to sectional strife. The book highlights the political battles over the Commission's authority, its initial rejection of autocratic power, and its subsequent attempts to acquire it. The author presents a compelling case against the creation of a dispensing power, emphasizing its incompatibility with fundamental principles of liberty and the potential for abuse. This timely examination of the dangers of government overreach offers valuable insights into the ongoing debate over the regulation of commerce and the preservation of individual rights.
