I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground that “all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people.” To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, not longer susceptible of any definition.

Constitutionality
of a National Bank

I believe
that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing
armies.

The
issuing power [of money] should be
taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it propery
belongs.
. . . Thomas Jefferson
1802
If
Congress has the right to issue paper money, it was given to them to be used by
[the government] and not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.
. . . President Andrew
Jackson
On his 1836 veto of continued authorization of
the Second Bank of the
United States
(central bank forerunner of
the Federal Reserve)
History
records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue,
deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments
by controlling money and its issuance.
. . . James Madison
The few who understand the system will either
be so interested in its profits or so dependent on its favors that there will
be no opposition from that class . . . .
Rothschild Brothers of
London
1863
Give me
control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes its laws.
. . . Mayer Amschel Bauer
Rothschild
