Description
The constitutionality of an act of Congress is a matter always requiring the most careful consideration. The presumptions are in favor of constitutionality, and before a court is justified in holding that the legislative power has been exercised beyond the limits granted, or in conflict with restrictions imposed by the fundamental law, the excess or conflict should be clear.

The reasoning in support of this was in the early history of this court forcibly declared by Chief Justice Marshall in Marbury v.
