Article I, Section 8, Clause 13

They are almoſt univerſally admitted to be proper for a federal head, except only the ſweeping clauſe, and the power of raiſing fleets and armies, without any ſtint or limitation, in time of peace.

The paragraph names the power of raising fleets (as well as armies) in time of peace among the objections to the powers of congress, which is the navy clause of Article I, Section 8, Clause 13.

To provide and maintain a navy;

The paragraph prints Article I, Section 8, Clause 13 of the Constitution as signed; the quoted words are the same as the clause's (apart from capitals and the long s), though the pamphlet's punctuation differs in places.

The powers falling within the FIRST class are those of declaring war and granting letters of marque; of providing armies and fleets; of regulating and calling forth the militia; of levying and borrowing money.

Names the power of providing "fleets" in its list of the first class of powers, and later the power of "equipping fleets," the naval power given in this clause.

…nothing more than the supreme command and direction of the military and naval forces, as first General and admiral of the Confederacy; while that of the British king extends to the DECLARING of war and to the RAISING and REGULATING of fleets and armies, all which, by the Constitution under consideration, would appertain to the legislature.[1] The governor of New York, on the other hand, is by the constitution of the State vested only with the command of its militia and navy.

Says "the RAISING ... of fleets" would, "by the Constitution under consideration," belong to the legislature. Low because the grouped phrase does not use this clause's words and names no clause; the link rests on fleets being the navy this clause concerns.

…proposed that congress shall have power " to raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years ; to provide and maintain a navy ; to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union ; suppress insurrections, and repel invasions : to provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the…

Quotes the clause verbatim within the quoted list of powers that "By the constitution it is proposed that congress shall have."

To pay the debts, and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States; to declare war, &c.; to raise and support armies; to provide and maintain a navy;—these are authorities and duties incident to every government.

In the same list of the powers of Congress, the speaker repeats the words of this clause; he does not name it by number.

What would be the consequence under those general words, “to provide and maintain a navy”?

The speaker asks about the consequence "under those general words" and quotes "to provide and maintain a navy".

Next comes the clause," Congress shall have power .to declare war; to raise and support armies; to provide and maintain a navy." A power like this is from its very nature unlimited.

The paragraph quotes the power "to provide and maintain a navy", the words of Article I, Section 8, Clause 13.

…power, which, if executed, must render slavery impossible, while the preamble makes them all vital for freedom: first, the power to provide for the common defense and general welfare; secondly, the power to raise armies and maintain navies; thirdly the powertoguaranty tocvery State a republican foi n of government; and fourthly, the power to secure liberty to every person restrained without due process of law.

Among the provisions of the Constitution it calls sources of power, the paragraph names the power to "maintain navies", Article I, Section 8, Clause 13.
