Présentation de l'éditeur
The purpose of this essay is to trace the legislative and judicial history of the grant to Congress of the power to establish postoffices and postroads, and to discuss the constitutionality of the proposals that, under this clause, federal control may be extended to subjects over which Congress has no direct authority. The essay is thus one in constitutional expansion, and does not consider the history or efficiency of the postoffice as an administrative arm of the government. A treatment of this subject, which has as yet received scant notice, I may some day attempt. Portions of Chapters IV and VII have appeared as articles on Federal Interference with the Freedom of the Press, and The Extension of Federal Control through the Regulation of the Mails, in the Yale Law Journal (M ay, 1914) and the Harvard Law Review (N ovember, 1913) respectively. They have been thoroughly revised for publication in their present form. Chapter Vappeared in substantially the same form in the Virginia Law Review (N ovember, 1915). I am under great obligations to Professor W. W. Willoughby, not only for much direct assistance in the preparation of this essay, but for the inspiration of his productive scholarship. L. R.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the legal history of the United States postal system, from its roots in the colonial era to its expansion in the 20th century. Congress's power to establish post offices and post roads, granted by the Constitution, has been interpreted broadly to allow for various functions beyond the mere delivery of mail. These include banking services, such as money orders and postal savings banks, and the potential nationalization of telegraph and telephone systems. The book also examines the use of federal control over the mails to limit the spread of certain ideas and materials, as well as the proposals to extend federal authority over subjects not directly related to the postal system. Through an examination of legislative and judicial history, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the constitutional expansion of the postal power in the United States. It sheds light on the ongoing debate over the proper scope of federal authority and the balance between government control and individual freedom. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330542361_0
