In particular, the following powers and limitations: trade and commerce, external affairs, corporations, race, aliens, appropriation, grants and taxation, inconsistency of Commonwealth and State laws, freedom of interstate trade and commerce, excise and implied limitations on Commonwealth and State powers, including implied rights. larger ideas concerning the nature of constitutional interpretaion and the basic values of public law are also discussed.
