add to cart   close window

The members of the American Constitutional Convention of 1787 considered fully the problem of "sanctions." The word was as familiar to them as it is to us. They were acquainted with all the phrases, all the ideas, of all political time. Naturally, no work by legislators can prevent two sections of a country from springing to arms against each other if they are determined to spring. That is not the point. The point is that not even against the States of this Union were constitutional forefathers willing to give even to its own Supreme Court the right to enforce its mandates by "sanctions."
