Federal Usurpation is a political treatise written by Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States. The book discusses the issue of federal power and its potential to infringe upon the rights of the states and the people. Pierce argues that the federal government has overstepped its bounds in many areas, including the expansion of executive power, the use of military force, and the imposition of taxes and regulations. He also explores the historical context of federalism in the United States and the role of the Constitution in limiting federal power. Throughout the book, Pierce calls for a return to the principles of limited government and states’ rights, and warns of the dangers of unchecked federal authority. Written in the aftermath of the Civil War, Federal Usurpation offers a unique perspective on the challenges facing the nation during a time of great political upheaval.Kings have ever been the bugaboo of our American people; but the President of the United States to-day, in the legitimate exercise of his authority, exercises a greater power than any constitutional sovereign on the face of the earth, his power in Europe being exceeded only by that of the czar or the sultan. All the bulwarks of liberty were reared not against the English Parliament but against the English king.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
