A LETTER
TO
THOMAS F. BAYARD
CHALLENGING HIS RIGHT--AND THAT OF ALL THE OTHER SO-CALLED SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS--
TO EXERCISE ANY LEGISLATIVE POWER WHATEVER OVER THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
BY LYSANDER SPOONER.
A Letter to Thomas F. Bayard
by Lysander Spooner
To Thomas F. Bayard, of Delaware:
Sir--I have read your letter to Rev. Lyman Abbott, in which you express the opinion that it is at least possible for a man to be a legislator and yet be an honest man.
You assume that the right of arbitrary dominion--that is, the right of making laws of their own device, and compelling obedience to them--is a "trust" that has been delegated to those who now exercise that power. You call it "the trust of public power."
But, Sir, you are mistaken in supposing that any such power has ever been delegated, or ever can be delegated, by any body, to any body.
