Extract

Until the Articles of Confederation were cast aside, the Continental Congress assigned obligations, known as requisitions, to the states for the payment of taxes and the raising of troops. The state governments were then responsible for meeting the obligations however they wished. This volume by Keith Dougherty studies the history of requisitions over the preconstitutional period and explores how the experience ultimately influenced the framing of the constitution.
