Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Military Affairs, on the Differences That Exist, Between the United States and Some of the Individual States, Respecting the Relative Powers of the General and State Governments Over the Militia, 1815 The committee of the senate on military affairs, understanding that serious differences of opinion existed between the executive authority of the United States, and the authorities of some of the individual states, respecting the relative powers of the general and state governments, over the militia, deemed it an incumbent duty on them to call for information upon that highly interesting subject; with a view of interposing, if found practicable, some legislative provisions for the mutual accommodation of such differences. For this purpose, on the 7th of January last, in virtue of instructions from the committee, a letter was addressed to the honorable secretary for the department of war, a copy of which accompanies this report; and in reply thereto, the committee received from him the letter and documents which also accompany this report.
