Powers and Policy of the U.S. Government

It's 1844 and only 4 months before the martyrdom of the prophet Joseph Smith. Just one month prior to this publication, as a Lt. General, Joseph Smith announced his intent to run election for the President of the United States. In the politically charged paper written by the presidential candidate, read the political views of Joseph Smith on such topics as slavery, policies, his opinion of the state of the union, and the inaugural addresses of the nation's forefathers.
