Strana 20 - That the Supreme Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all controversies of a civil nature, where a state is a party, except between a state and its citizens; and except also between a state and citizens of other states, or aliens, in which latter case it shall have original but not exclusive jurisdiction.
Strana 22 - To the Constitution of the United States the term sovereign is totally unknown. There is but one place where it could have been used with propriety. But even in that place it would not, perhaps, have comported with the delicacy of those who ordained and established that Constitution. They might have announced themselves sovereign people of the United States; but serenely conscious of the fact, they avoided the ostentatious declaration.
Strana 11 - If we take an extended and accurate view of it. we shall find the streams of power running in different directions, in different dimensions, and at different heights — watering, adorning, and fertilizing, the fields and meadows through which their courses are led ; but if we trace them, we shall discover that they all originally flow from one abundant fountain. In this Constitution, all authority is derived from the people.
Strana 219 - Penn, his heirs and assignes all that tract or parte of land in America, with all the Islands therein conteyned, as the same is bounded on the East by Delaware River, from twelve miles distance...
Strana 9 - For the more convenient management of the general interests of the United States, delegates shall be annually appointed in such manner as the legislature of each State shall direct, to meet in Congress...
Strana 22 - One of the parties to it is a State : certainly respectable, claiming to be sovereign. The question to be determined is, whether this State, so respectable and whose claim soars so high, is amenable to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the United States. This question, important in itself, will depend on others, more important still; and may, perhaps, be ultimately resolved into one, no less radical than this — 'do the People of the United States form a nation?
Strana 14 - The judiciary of the United States is so constructed and extended as to absorb and destroy the judiciaries of the several States; thereby rendering law as tedious, intricate and expensive, and justice as unattainable by a great part of the community, as in England, and enabling the rich to oppress and ruin the poor.
Strana 86 - Baltimore; the printer was called upon for the author, and obliged to give up his name. Lee remained at his retreat, living in a' style peculiar to himself, in a house more like a barn than a palace. Glass windows and plastering would have been luxurious extravagance, and. his furniture consisted of a very few necessary articles; indeed, he was now so rusticated, that he could have lived in a tub with Diogenes...
Strana 31 - But, on the succeeding day, the court delivered a unanimous opinion, "that the amendment being constitutionally adopted, there could not be exercised any jurisdiction, in any case, past or future, in which a State was sued by the citizens of another State, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign state.
Strana 91 - I desire most earnestly that I may not be buried in any church or churchyard, or within a mile of any Presbyterian or Anabaptist meeting-house ; for, since I have resided in this country, I have kept so much bad company when living, that I do not choose to continue it when dead.
