>The US Constitution and Money  - Michael S. Rozeff - Mike S. Rozeff
Thank you for the time and effort put in to this well written article. I have a particular interest in the how the Constitution is viewed in the courts today. I agree that the “original intent” is important and that the statement that it is a “living document” is for people, as I observe, who are living in a round room. In other words they can't be cornered on anything. The psychologist would say they are “pathological liars” as apposed to intentional liars who fear the truth. There is considerable confusion as to the nature and jurisdiction of the Supreme Court and thus there is much displeasure with certain opinions of the court as those displeased view the Courts interpretation based on the Constitution ratified in 1787 and that the courts jurisdiction encompasses everyone living in the several States.
Your statement from the Constitution “judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” Further, “The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States” where the “United States” is an important entity. It is not referencing the several States of the union but the entity created by the States and is the basic working entity of the Congress. The laws of the United States are the laws of that entity and all that it controls, thus the “one supreme Court and such inferior Courts” are the courts to adjudicate “the Laws of the United States”. This is not how most people view the courts. Because it is widely supposed that the Marbury v. Madison decision as Wikipedia states “formed the basis for judicial review in the United States” which it does however the definition of United States means the entity controlled by the Congress not the several States. The Code of Federal Regulations and many Federal Administrative agencies define to U.S., United States etc. in accordance with the same definition that the Supreme Court defines “state”. Marbury v. Madison was, as you remember, a dispute over a Justice of the Peace position in the District of Columbia which the court had jurisdiction over because the District of Columbia belongs to the United States as does all of the territories and Federal districts. Theses entities are administered by the Congress and any agency that has been created by Congressional act. The people affected by the Supreme Court opinions are not the people of the several States. They are the territorial and district citizens. The Constitution of 1787 has no affect in the territories and federal districts as the court has ruled in many cases in the past. The Congress has general and plenary powers in the territories and federal districts.

Beginning of the headline :This article outlines what the U.S. Constitution’s clauses and references to money mean. It examines constitutional money from a legal perspective. It does not examine money and banking from an ethical, economic, or political point of view. The idea is simply to set down in the clearest terms possible what kind of money is legal in the U.S., according to the Constitution, and what kind of money is not... Read More
