Reprint of the first and only edition. Originally published: Philadelphia, Printed by J. C. Clark, 1837. v, [1], 197 p. Advances Baldwin s opinions against the two prevailing schools of Constitutional interpretation, the strict constructionists and the Marshall school of liberal interpretation, and presents his own, third, middling interpretation, which Bauer suggests "comes closer to agreement with the states rights interests than with those who favor a national government."
