They can be dissolved. The constitution does not require a central bank.
Either the fed is powerless to stop the economic crisis we've suffered, or they're too incompetent to manage them. Either way it looks like they need dissolved.

"In 1913, this problem was addressed by the creation of the Federal Reserve System (Fed).33 The Fed was to remedy the situation in a two ways. First, it would provide a means by which banks could borrow in times of stringency to satisfy their customers’ demand for cash. Second, it could create a new form of money, Federal Reserve notes, which could be expanded or contracted in quantity to respond to the need for more cash."
"The creation of the Federal Reserve had little if any effect on the gold standard. The dollar was still defined in terms of gold. Federal Reserve notes were redeemable in lawful money. The Fed not only operated under the gold standard, but was charged with maintaining it, and kept a percentage of gold cover for its notes. Gold still dictated the value of the dollar. "

“ Because the international gold standard linked interest rates and monetary policies among participating nations, the Fed’s actions triggered recessions in nations around the globe.”
That’s what I was alluding to, sorry for not being clear :)
>the Fed's actions triggered recessions
I don't think this strengthens the case for justification of the fed.
It's like people who ask why they need to be vaccinated for polio now that there's very few cases of it.
False, false, and false.
"Despite the creation of the Fed, a wave of bank runs resulted in massive bank failures over the period 1930-1933."
