Abolishing Special Legislation for Honest Reform
A Pennsylvania letter argues for amending the constitution to end special legislation. It contends such laws waste state funds, benefit a few, corrode integrity, invite corruption, and should be replaced by general laws enforced by the people or elected representatives. The author praises a democratic shift toward nonpartisan governance and cites President Polk’s residence and state of affairs in Washington as illustrating the era’s reform spirit.
