1 janv. 1817 - President Madison vetoes the Bonus Bill of 1817

Description:

The bill stated that the government should allocate resources to internally improve the country. This includes constructing roads and canals to provide transportation to those states that are not as accessible(the newer states). Madison vetoes this bill deeming it unconstitutional and that these powers dont fall under the implied powers granted to government in the constitution. This is significant because it delayed the further production of these means of transportation; therefore delaying the transportation of certain economic products to these areas.
