More from James Monroe
The exposure being common to the whole District, the regulation should apply to the whole, to make which Congress alone possesses the adequate power.
The Secretary of State, one of the ministers referred to, has already expressed a desire that Mr. Russell's letter should be communicated, and that I would transmit at the same time a communication from him respecting it.
That the regulation should be made by Congress is the more necessary from the consideration that this being the seat of the Government, its protection against such diseases must form one of its principal objects.
According to my judgment it cannot be derived from either of those powers, nor from all of them united, and in consequence it does not exist.
