. 2.—It i* the first that provided
for a dual government. It provides
for a i-tate government with reserved
powers, to which the individual owes
.allegiance; and a national govern
ment with delegated power?, to which
the individual owes allegiance.
The idea of two governments in
one has brought about, a constant
conflict hetwrtjn those who favored
the rights of the states and those who
favor a strong cetnral government.
This confusion was to have been ex
pected. We have the same thing ip
theology, that is to say, in the
Trinity.
Sixty-five powers are given to the
Federal Government, and seventy-
nine are withheld, of which thirteen
are denied both V that government
and to th? rtates. Forty-thi ’p cf the
rixty-five powers given to the Fed

Mnny of the difficulties which has

have been with the implied powers.
3. — Individual liberty is guaran
teed through constitutional limita
tions.
4. —An independent judicinry. The
power cf the Supreme Court to de
clare nn unconstitutional act invalid
is peculiar to our Constitution.
All of these are among the pecu
liar .distinctive and novel features of
our Constitution.

brilliant performance cf this swift, smart

Only Morquefte with its priceless back

such superlative performance at moderate
cost. Only Marquette in the thousand-
dollor class has an engino of aia.8 cubic
inch piston’displocement. Marquette alone
provides the extra endurance and ex
traordinary economy of operation that

And this handsome new six has even
more to offer than supreme performance
and economy! In its class, Marquette
is the only edr with the remarkable new
waterproof, dustproof, wearproof
upholstery end the wonderful new
non-glare windshield. A host of other
exceptional features contributes to its
completeness: Dustproof, tilt-ray head
lights. Four Lovejoy hydraulic shock
absorbers. Big, smooth, fully-enclosed
brakes. Airplane-type stepped-size bear
ings. A completely scaled engine. Beauti
ful, harmonizing finish, inside and out.
