Question

20 POINTS PLEASEE

“. . .[A]n assumption of the debts of the particular States by the Union, and a like provision for them as for those of the Union, will be a measure of sound policy and substantial justice.
“It would, in the opinion of the Secretary, contribute, in an eminent degree, to an orderly, stable, and satisfactory arrangement of the national finances. . . .[N]o greater revenues will be required whether that provision be made wholly by the United States, or partly by them and partly by the States separately. . . .
“If all the public creditors receive their dues from one source, distributed with an equal hand, their interest will be the same. And, having the same interests, they will unite in the support of the fiscal arrangements of the Government. . . These circumstances combined will insure to the revenue laws a more ready and more satisfactory execution. . . .”
