Because It allowed the Supreme Court to review state laws and state court decisions
He tried to - in order to deal with the crippling debts of the French state (mostly incurred by various wars - most recently the French help to the American War of Independence), but he decided that he did not have the authority to impose new taxes. He turned first to an assembly of nobles (it is not true that French nobles paid no taxes - but they were free of some of the more important taxes) and then called an “Estates General” (the first for more than a century) in the hopes that the nobles and church would agree to contribute more money.

"The Bosses of the Senate" was a political/satirical cartoon that was drawn by<em> Joseph Keppler. </em>
<em>The purpose of the cartoon was to show how the wealthy monopolists or rich businessmen controlled the Senate in order to gain more power and money.</em> During the<u> "Gilded Age,"</u> political issues arose, such as the <u>interest given to businessmen regarding tariff and business policies.</u> Through the Senate, they were supported through their tariffs and were given business policies that were friendly.
The cartoon portrays many symbols. The entrances to the Senate in the picture were two: the "People's Entrance" and the "Monopolists' Entrance." The <u>monopolists' entrance was widely-opened and proximal, </u>while the p<u>eople's entrance was closed and distal.</u> This clearly shows how the monopolists can immediately gain an easy access to the Senate, while the people cannot do anything. The fat people at the back represents the monopolists (who are considered the bosses of the Senate), while the smaller people in front represents the Senate. <u>Their fat body is a representation of greediness and their being at the immediate back of the Senate, represents their control over the Senate.</u> This means that the monopolists during the Gilded Age had an easier influence when it comes to the policies regarding their businesses.
