More From Joseph Smith, Jr.

The constitution is not a law, but it empowers the people to make laws... the constitution tells us what shall not be a lawful tender... the legislature has ceded up to us the privilege of enacting such laws as are not inconsistent with the constitution of the united states... the different states, and even congress itself, have passed many laws diametrically contrary to the constitution of the united states.
