Review by a special committee of the Massachusetts legislature of a resolution of the South Carolina legislature proposing a convention to revise the Constitution of the United States. The Massachusetts legislature concludes, "that the Legislature of this Commonwealth do not recognize the existence, at this time, of any serious causes of discontent, among the States generally, of this Union, or in any one of them; much less, can they admit that, if any such discontents do, in fact, exist, they have arisen from the exercise by Congress of powers not conferred or contemplated by the sovereign parties to the compact, as is asserted in the before mentioned communication from the Legislature of South Carolina. ... That there is, already, existing, under the Constitution of the United States, a proper and competent tribunal, namely, the Supreme Court of the United States, who are invested with sufficient power, and authority; who are, eminently, qualified, and to whom it constitutionally belongs, to consider, and determine "the questions of disputed power," and all other matters of controversy which are referred to in the said preamble and resolutions."--Page [22]
