Constitution Radio: Silver and Gold

● Article I. Section 8., Congress shall have the power to coin money, regulate the value thereof.
● Article I. Section 10., No State shall coin money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.

Alan Meyers joins us to ask why those two clauses are worded as they are, and how far from the Constitution we've strayed regarding each.
