Résumé
The congressional debates on abolishing the franking privilege in 1872-1874 open a window into the institutional arrangement and administrative practices of the U.S. federal State in the 19th century. Through the use of the frank, Congressmen acquired a privileged position as intermediaries between the Executive branch and the citizens of their districts. Thus, they performed a key administrative task. This finding is far from today’s common conception of the State, and prompts us to reevaluate our understanding of the forms and practices of the federal State during its first century.
