But we think the sound construction of the constitution must allow to the national legislature that discretion, with respect to the means by which the powers it confers are to be carried into execution, which will enable that body to perform the high duties assigned to it, in the manner most beneficial to the people.
3. lappuse - Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consistent with the letter and spirit of the constitution, are constitutional.

163. lappuse - Every law that makes an action, done before the passing of the law, and which was innocent when done, criminal, and punishes such action.
121. lappuse - In any suit, action, or proceeding brought under the provisions of this act subpoenas for witnesses who are required to attend a court of the United States in any district may run into any other district : Provided, That...
462. lappuse - If, on such hearing, he deems the evidence sufficient to sustain the charge under the provisions of the proper treaty or convention, he shall certify the same, together with a copy of all the testimony taken before him...
