The Supremacy Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause - [Freedom Papers Ep. 41]

Hamilton’s Federalist Paper No. 33, "The Same Subject Continued: Concerning the General Power of Taxation," examines the Supremacy Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause.

Morgan Zegers and Connor Clegg explain that the Necessary and Proper Clause was never intended to create powers, but rather to execute the existing powers provided to the government in the constitution. The Supremacy Clause states that the laws of a society must be the supreme regulator of each state’s conduct; otherwise; the country will not be united on a federal level.
