1482. CONFEDERATION, Money requisitions and.—
Among the debilities of the
government of the Confederation, no one was
more distinguished or more distressing than
the utter impossibility of obtaining, from the
States, the moneys necessary for the payment
of debts, or even for the ordinary expenses
of the government. Some contributed
a little, some less, and some nothing, and the
last furnished at length an excuse for the
first to do nothing also.—
