Uniform State Laws Governing Negotiable Documents Of Title, Francis B. James
Uniform State Laws Governing Negotiable Documents Of Title, Francis B. James
Michigan Law Review
Our forefathers, not foreseeing that the States would some day become one country for commercial purposes, failed to vest in Congress power to regulate all commerce, but limited that body to such as was interstate or foreign.
