of that instrument, the country had just emerged
from the War of th* Revolution, and was suffering
from the effects of a redundant and worthlan pa.

in providing a oiroulating medium, they conferred
upon Congress the power to eoin money and regu

the States from making anything but gold land sil

striking contrast with that which was originally
