...negative of the question: "Resolved, That whenever in the event of continued domestic violence, lives and property are not adequately protected by a State, it is for the public good that the President should have the power to afford protection without the application of the State for Federal aid." The Harvard and Princeton teams were made up respectively of A. A. Ballantine '04, W. Catchings 2L. and J. Daniels '04, and T. R. Good '04, G. S. Hornblower '04 and A. P. Scott '04.

The speaker claimed that the affirmative had shown that such cases have arisen and may arise in the future, and would further show that in such cases federal aid is necessary for the general welfare. Modern conditions, he said, have so bound the parts of our county together that domestic...
...power would be radical in principle. The principle that behind the state stands the union guaranteeing its stability is, he said, as old as the constitution. Moreover, the aim of the constitution is domestic tranquility. Therefore when continued domestic violence exists and a State re- fuses to ask for aid, the very end of the constitution is subverted...
