After tho revolution, it was soon found that dis tention among the states, n lots of public credit, at' ?Itnpie.aud abroad, the publio tranquility aqd gen encrul welffcfe required a'more ciltcieut govern ment. Our present constitution was, happily, the reaUlt or ill* Oecosiity which required a. change. i - Tbo elledged violations of the constitution, ap-. .peaf to b? principally tha act* in relation.to inter not improvement, and the tariff.
