It was indicated in the preceding chapter that a general law relates to persons or things as a class; that this class is determined by a "distinguishing peculiarity" which bears a reasonable relation to the purpose for which the statute was enacted; and that this class includes all things which may come within it at any future time. It now remains to examine the cases in which this test has been applied.

During the first decade of statehood, Missouri was composed of sparsely settled, agricultural communities. Her needs were simple and her interests few. The common law adequately regulated the ordinary affairs of those pioneer days; and the general assemblies, without being overburdened, could easily satisfy all the demands for public, private, and local legislation. So the evils of special and local legislation were not prominent and aroused little, if any, protest.

At common law an executor or administrator has no authority to administer upon any property of the deceased the situs of which is without the state of his appointment. "Every grant of administration is strictly confined in its authority and operation to the limits of the territory of the government which grants it. and does not de jure extend to other countries." It is, therefore, uniformly held that the domiciliary representative cannot proceed to a foreign state and in his official capacity maintain an action to collect the assets of the deceased located there.
