It was a proposed change to the Articles of Confederation. There were different variations, but in general the plan strengthened the power of congress. Here are some of the points:

  • Congress could raise funds via tariffs and other measures
  • Congress could regulate interstate and international commerce.
  • Congress could collect taxes from states.
  • Congress could elect a federal executive committee (non re-electable).
  • The federal executive would appoint a Supreme Tribunal to handle federal impeachment cases and other national matters.
  • The federal executive can force non-compliant states to obey the law.
  • A policy of admission of new states should be established.
  • A single policy for naturalization should be established.
  • A citizen of one state can be prosecuted under the laws of another state in which the crime was committed.
  • State governments must be bound by oath to support the Articles
  • A policy should be established to handle territorial disputes
  • Offenses deemed as treason should be defined.
