Legal Tender Acts: Considered In Relation To Their Constitutionality And Their Political Economy (18

The Legal Tender Acts: Considered In Relation To Their Constitutionality And Their Political Economy is a book written by Samuel Thayer Spear in 1875. The book discusses the constitutionality and political economy of the Legal Tender Acts, which were a series of laws passed by the United States government during the Civil War that authorized the creation of paper currency that could be used as legal tender. Spear examines the history and legal implications of the Legal Tender Acts, arguing that they were unconstitutional because they violated the Contract Clause of the United States Constitution. He also analyzes the economic impact of the Acts, arguing that they caused inflation and disrupted the economy. The book is a detailed and scholarly analysis of an important period in American history, and is considered a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the legal and economic history of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
