It was ruled constitutional by the Supreme Court, so that argument cannot be used. It was established in an attempt to correct wrongs of the past, although it cannot be proven to have done so. But, none of the people who have complained have shown any other system DEMONSTRATED TO WORK.

Re: AMERICAN STONE Reply #6 - 07/25/10 at 07:51:04 That someone decided to announce what is CLEARLY UNconstitutional as Constitutional means nothing to me. REad the Constitution & then report back. The Federal REserve is not Constitutional. Getting some clowns to say it is changes nothing.

The Federal Reserve Act (ch. 6, 38 Stat. 251, enacted December 23, 1913, 12 U.S.C. ch.3) is the Act of Congress that created the Federal Reserve System, the central banking system of the United States of America, and granted it the legal authority to issue legal tender.

Rights of Congress

....To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

....To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

Congress passed their right/responsibility onto a private entity as they considered it "necessary and proper" to regulate the nations financial system to prevent financial "panics".
Doesnt mean it was a good idea, and theres no doubt the decision was not entirely in the average persons best interest, but it seems entirely constitutional to me.

Best I can tell, assorted courts have held that the Federal Reserve Act is constitutional. The question I have is not that, but what would the replacement be? The Federal Reserve Act was passed in the absence of a central banking system and was intended to prevent problems caused by that lack. We have had it demonstrated that the Federal Reserve System isn't perfect, and that the absence of a system isn't perfect either. So, what is the proposal to fix the problems? Preferably, a solution that has been DEMONSTRATED TO WORK somewhere.
