The Constitutionality Of Federal Legislation Concerning Employer And Employee Engaged In Interstate And Foreign Commerce, Carl V. Wisner
Michigan Law Review
To what extent does the relation of employer and employee, when engaged in interstate or foreign commerce, come within the regulating power of Congress? The power of Congress to legislate concerning employer and employee, where the service is rendered in interstate or foreign commerce, has been recently questioned in several important Federal decisions. The ground on which such legislation has been challenged is that it is an attempt by Congress to regulate what is not commerce, that "creating new liabilities growing out of the relations of master and servant on the one hand and regulating commerce on the other are …

Commercial Aspect Of Uniform State Laws, Francis B. James
Michigan Law Review

It also …

The Commerce Clause Of The Federal Constitution And Two Recent Cases Dealing With It, S. S. Gregory
Michigan Law Review
In the historic case of M'Culloch v. Maryland, CHIEF Justice Marshall said, referring to the Federal Government: "This government is acknowledged by all to be one of enumerated powers. The principle that it can exercise only the powers granted to it, would seem too apparent to have required to be enforced by all those arguments which its enlightened friends, while it was depending before the people, found it necessary to urge. That principle is now universally admitted, but the question respecting the extent of the powers actually granted is perpetually arising and will probably continue to arise as long as …
