Why has the commerce clause become one of the most sweeping powers of government?

History

nikklg [1K]3 years ago
4 0
The Commerce Clause serves a two-fold purpose: it is the direct source of the most important powers that the Federal Government exercises in peacetime, and, except for the due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment, it is the most important limitation imposed by the Constitution on the exercise of state power. The latter, restrictive operation of the clause was long the more important one from the point of view of the constitutional lawyer. Of the approximately 1400 cases that reached the Supreme Court under the clause prior to 1900, the overwhelming proportion stemmed from state legislation.663 The result was that, generally, the guiding lines in construction of the clause were initially laid down in the context of curbing state power rather than in that of its operation as a source of national power. The consequence of this historical progression was that the word “commerce” came to dominate the clause while the word “regulate” remained in the background. The so-called “constitutional revolution” of the 1930s, however, brought the latter word to its present prominence.

<u>It was the farmers who were the most affected by this economic shutdown caused by the Great depression</u>. Prices of their crops were falling year after year and states of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas suffered severe drought which also caused dust storms. In the initial stages of the 1930s, the majority of farmers went bankrupt and because of that, they were not able to pay their loans and lost their farms. Corns that were grown by farmers became so cheap that instead of coal, people started burning corn to make their food. <u>Many farmers even formed farmers Union but all went in vain as it did not have any effect on Prices</u>.
