Стр. 194 - This provision is made in a constitution intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs.
Стр. 178 - This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon, with which any Constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure.
Стр. 142 - Court held that a taxpayer may challenge congressional action under the Taxing and Spending Clause that violates a limitation on the exercise of that power. Although later cases have narrowed the doctrine of taxpayer standing, (see, eg, Valley Force Christian College v.
Стр. 186 - The taxpayer's allegation in such cases would be that his tax money is being extracted and spent in violation of specific constitutional protections against such abuses of legislative power. Such an injury is appropriate for judicial redress...
