6. Read the following quote:
"Although, among the enumerated powers of government, we do not find the
word "bank" or "incorporation" we find the great powers to lay and collect taxes;
to borrow money; to regulate commerce; to declare and conduct a war; and to
raise and support armies and navies ... But it may with great reason be
contended, that a government, entrusted with such ample powers ... must also be
entrusted with ample means for their execution. The power being given, it is the
interest of the nation to facilitate its execution..."
