Vol 3 Chapter 7171: Worried

The government must abide by the law!

Lin Feng's brows moved slightly.

This, indeed, as Clinton said, is a cognitive difference.

Lin Feng has traveled north and south over the years. It can be said that there are countless countries he has visited. Experience, compared to most people, is much richer. But in terms of ideology, it has not completely changed.

It can be said that it is still fundamentally different from Westerners, or Americans.

This distinction is not about who is better and who is worse. It is purely an ideology formed under the two national models.

Lin Feng does not criticize, nor can he criticize.

With high status and authority, Lin Feng deeply understands this truth. When you reach a certain position, you can't say some things.

"This is the difference in ideology. When conscious cognition reaches a certain stage, it will bring a powerful energy to promote everything." Clinton said, "California's independent cognition starts with the windy city. A brand-new city is built out of thin air. No matter how much money you spend on the boss, it will take time for a brand-new city to be accepted. Especially, the target of catching up is Hollywood."

Lin Feng nodded.

At the beginning, Lin Feng had also worried about this. After all, he invested hundreds of billions of dollars. Although he also wanted to export the evil spirit, he couldn't be really confused and finally turned into a laughingstock.

But this result, no one expected. It will be like this.

"A US federal state wants independence, what is the biggest problem?" Clinton explained, "There were countless state governments in the history of the United States who wanted independence, such as Kentucky, and Texas, which I worry most about! "

No one knows American politics better than Clinton, who was once the president of the United States. In particular, Clinton was once a lawyer, and he knew American law very well.

"Why does the United States have state independence? In this regard, since the beginning of the founding of the country, under the intervention of England, and in order to establish the state as soon as possible, the US federal government reached an agreement with each state, which is famous: Kentucky and Virginia. Resolution." Clinton said.

The so-called Kentucky and Virginia resolutions are bills passed by the Virginia and Kentucky legislatures to protest the Federal Government’s "Hakka Law and Suppression of Rebellion Act." The Virginia Resolution was drafted by Madison and passed by the State Assembly on December 24, 1798. The "Kentucky Resolution" was drafted by Vice President Jefferson, proposed by Breckenridge, and passed by the State Legislature on November 16, 1798.

"There is also the Tenth Amendment Act to the U.S. Constitution, which is also the last article of the bill of rights. It stipulates that the states of the United States have relatively independent autonomy. The regulations of the bill are: the Constitution does not grant the United States or prohibit the exercise of power by each state. Reserved, or reserved by the people.” Clinton explained, “In other words, the constitution acquiesces in state independence!”

Lin Feng curled his lips. This is really American style. A country actually allows division.

"However, this was the first choice made to unify the country as soon as possible and avoid being divided by Britain and France. After that, the country stabilized and began to solve the shortcomings caused by these laws. Among them, the most famous one is: McCulloch V. Maryland." Clinton said.

The McCulloch v. Maryland case is simply the establishment of the Second Bank in the United States. As for why it is called the First Bank, it is because the United States needs to set up a bank in order to solve the various war debt problems left over from the "War of Independence" and the "Xie Si Uprising". Therefore, the "First Bank" was established, which is the first in the United States. A national bank. But after the expiry of the contract, Bank One did not regain the authorization of Congress. The state governments were worried that the US federal government would be too powerful to affect them, so they all rejected the resolution to continue the authorization. Therefore, Bank One is dead.

It has existed for a total of 20 years.

After that, in 1812, Britain broke out the Second American War of Independence in order to retake the colony. The end of 1815 was declared, and the United States won.

auzw.com (By the way, at this moment, China is here in the 20th year of Jiaqing of the Qing government. The national power has been severely declining, and the country has long since lost its name. White lotus religion began to rise during this period. But In any case, China at this moment, whether it is economic strength or military strength, is still far superior to the United States.)

However, in order to solve the various economic problems left over from the war, the establishment of the National Bank is imperative. Therefore, the Second Bank was established. However, the establishment of the Second Bank also represents the establishment of a unified national bank financial institution, which will directly affect the interests of state banks and investors.

Therefore, the Maryland State Assembly enacted a law in 1818 to levy an annual tax of $15,000 on all state banks or bank branches that were not established by the State Assembly. Naturally, in fact, the only eligible for taxation is the branch of the Second Bank of the United States of America in Baltimore, Maryland. Therefore, the taxation law is directed at the federal government.

Regarding this law, the Second Bank, as a national bank, naturally does not pay taxes. So, as a result, Maryland sued McCulloch (the cashier of the branch) to the state court.

Needless to say the result. The state government sued a teller of the Second Bank in the state court. This lawsuit is bound to win. The court fined McCulloch the teller $100.

What is the concept of this 100 dollars? Quite simply, in 1900, Sears (the largest department store in the United States at the time) New York department store prices: Mississauga's latest sewing machine with a seat of 14 yuan, Western cowboy revolver at 4.5 yuan; ordinary pistols only sell for 2 yuan. Men’s wool suits are 8 yuan, mid-length tops are 20 yuan, and leather boots are 1.5 yuan.

As for, if you push forward 50 years, that is, in 1850, the price will be even cheaper.

A trained horse costs about $10. As for a single-family cottage, it is less than $100. This is a very low price.

The fine of $100 is obviously very heavy for individuals.

The McCulloch teller was naturally dissatisfied. Of course, he was an out-and-out Maryland native. However, this lawsuit has nothing to do with where he is from, or with his background, it can be said that it has nothing to do with him.

This is a contest between the federal government and the state government.

Therefore, McCulloch appealed, but the appeal is still in the Court of Appeals in Maryland. The result of this judgment is naturally conceivable. Continue to lose.

After that, the lawsuit went to the Federal Supreme Court.

At the time, Federal Justice Marshall thought this was an opportunity, an opportunity to suppress the state government, and prevent the state government from overpowering, leading to greater civil unrest.

In the end, with the support of the Supreme Court, McCrock won the lawsuit. And this bill declares that the US federal government has legal constitutional rights, but it exercises the privileges of the federal government.

"It can be said that this judgment gave the federal government the privilege to suppress the state government." Clinton lamented.

"After that, another war made independence even more impossible! That was the'Civil War.' It can be said that the Civil War was a civil turmoil. Under our American perception, we never considered the Civil War. , Our victor, that is, the victory of the Northern Army, is a war of liberation."

Lin Feng narrowed the corner of his eyes. This Clinton really deserves to be a former president of the United States. The art of speaking is so superb that people admire him. This is a vague criticism.

"In the beginning, the war was only for national unification, not freeing slaves at all. After that, the northern army was unable to conquer the southern army, and even suffered heavy losses in the eastern battlefield. Moreover, because the southern army has been receiving support from the British and French governments, it led to the occupation. Disadvantage. In this case, President Lincoln made the Emancipation Proclamation!" Clinton shrugged, "So, this has nothing to do with the emancipation of slaves, it is purely for national unity!"

Everyone knows a little bit about the inside story of the Civil War. It's just that Clinton, as the former president of the United States, said straightforwardly about his country's previous scandals. This is somewhat surprising!

"There is nothing to conceal. This is a fact. Therefore, because the declaration of liberation purely for the victory of the war is of no use. Therefore, racial discrimination in the United States is still serious. In this regard, no matter who it is, it cannot be denied. Yes." Clinton said.

"But all of this is no longer so strong now!" Clinton was worried.

(Sorry, it’s too late today, because it takes too much time to search for these historical materials, and it takes too much time to read and understand, and then try to write in simple vocabulary, so it’s too late, and there are only two results. I'm really sorry!)
