Two Hundred Years of Tyranny reveals the cunning mechanism Chief Justice John Marshall used to transform the limited federal government model the Framers gave us, to the all-powerful government model Alexander Hamilton had sought at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, but didn’t get.

While Marshall laid the groundwork in 1803 with Marbury v. Madison and in 1819 with McCulloch v. Maryland, it was his obscure March 3, 1821 decision of Cohens v. Virginia that sealed America’s fate, when Marshall simply wrote:

“The clause which gives exclusive jurisdiction is, unquestionably, a part of the Constitution, and, as such, binds all the United States.”

And, with these magic 21 words, the inherent power Congress may legally use within the District of Columbia was allowed to escape District boundaries and bind the States, whenever Congress intended.

Marshall merely exploited the inherent contradiction that currently exists between the letter and spirit of the Constitution. While the spirit would restrict exclusive legislation laws to the District Seat and other exclusive lands, Marshall held that the strictest letter (of Article VI, Clause 2) holds even Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 to be part of the supreme Law of the Land that bind the States.

Read Two Hundred Years of Tyranny to learn how Hamilton and Marshall pulled off their political coup, how we may throw off tyranny, overturn Cohens and permanently restore our lost American Republic.
