Taylor, John, of Caroline:

$1,750 · Offered by William Reese Company

CONSTRUCTION CONSTRUED, AND CONSTITUTIONS VINDICATED. An important work by America's great proponent of agrarian liberalism. Taylor was an important Constitutional theorist and states' rights advocate. He believed the greatest danger to American democracy lay in consolidation and in the creation of an aristocracy of "paper and patronage." This work is one of several in which Taylor sets forth his theory of the U.S. Constitution and related federal government policies (e.g. taxation, banking, and tariffs). It is also one of his rarest works, far harder to find than his NEW VIEWS OF THE CONSTITUTION, TYRANNY UNMASKED, or others.
