1836.—Whig Resolutions,

1840.—Democratic Platform,
Baltimore, May 5.
Resolved, That the Federal government is one of limited powers,
derived solely from the constitution, and the grants of power shown
therein ought to be strictly construed by all the departments and
agents of the government, and that it is inexpedient and dangerous
to exercise doubtful constitutional powers.
2. Resolved, That the constitution does not confer upon the
general government the power to commence and carry on a general
system of internal improvements.
3. Resolved, That the constitution does not confer authority upon
the Federal government, directly or indirectly, to assume the debts of
the several states, contracted for local internal improvements or
other state purposes; nor would such assumption be just or
expedient.
4. Resolved, That justice and sound policy forbid the Federal
government to foster one branch of industry to the detriment of
another, or to cherish the interests of one portion to the injury of
another portion of our common country—that every citizen and every
section of the country has a right to demand and insist upon an
equality of rights and privileges, and to complete and ample
protection of persons and property from domestic violence or foreign
aggression.
5. Resolved, That it is the duty of every branch of the government
to enforce and practice the most rigid economy in conducting our
public affairs, and that no more revenue ought to be raised than is
required to defray the necessary expenses of the government.
6. Resolved, That Congress has no power to charter a United
States bank; that we believe such an institution one of deadly
hostility to the best interests of the country, dangerous to our
republican institutions and the liberties of the people, and calculated
to place the business of the country within the control of a
concentrated money power, and above the laws and the will of the
people.
7. Resolved, That Congress has no power under the constitution, to
interfere with or control the domestic institutions of the several
states; and that such states are the sole and proper judges of
everything pertaining to their own affairs, not prohibited by the
constitution; that all efforts, by Abolitionists or others, made to
induce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery, or to take
incipient steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most
alarming and dangerous consequences, and that all such efforts have
an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people, and
endanger the stability and permanence of the Union, and ought not
to be countenanced by any friend to our political institutions.
