Limited Partnership In America And England, Francis M. Burdick May 1908

Limited Partnership In America And England, Francis M. Burdick

Michigan Law Review

At last Great Britain has legalized Limited Partnership. More than a quarter of a century ago, Sir Frederick Pollock called attention to the fact that the United Kingdom was almost the only civilized country of the world which had not adopted this institution. The remark was made in an address devoted to an explanation of a bill, which he had drafted, to cover the entire subject of partnership. Long before this, the economical advantages of limited partnership had been set forth by John Stuart Mill and other writers; and repeated attempts had been made to secure a statute legalizing this …

The Constitutionality Of Federal Legislation Concerning Employer And Employee Engaged In Interstate And Foreign Commerce, Carl V. Wisner Jun 1907

The Constitutionality Of Federal Legislation Concerning Employer And Employee Engaged In Interstate And Foreign Commerce, Carl V. Wisner

Michigan Law Review

To what extent does the relation of employer and employee, when engaged in interstate or foreign commerce, come within the regulating power of Congress? The power of Congress to legislate concerning employer and employee, where the service is rendered in interstate or foreign commerce, has been recently questioned in several important Federal decisions. The ground on which such legislation has been challenged is that it is an attempt by Congress to regulate what is not commerce, that "creating new liabilities growing out of the relations of master and servant on the one hand and regulating commerce on the other are …

Revision Of The Laws Of The United States, Everett P. Wheeler Jan 1907

Revision Of The Laws Of The United States, Everett P. Wheeler

Michigan Law Review

June 22, 1874, President Grant put his signature to a great quarto volume which we know as the United States Revised Statutes. This has since been amended, and many additions have been made to the general laws of the United States which have not been incorporated in the Revised Statutes. These are scattered through the Statutes at Large, mingled with many temporary provisions. To convert this chaos into order, Congress in 1897 created a Commission to revise the Criminal and Penal Laws of the United States. In 1899 the duties of this Commission were extended to a revision of the …

Constitutional And Legislative Limitations Of The Home Rule Charter In Minnesota, Charles P. Hall Nov 1906

Constitutional And Legislative Limitations Of The Home Rule Charter In Minnesota, Charles P. Hall

Michigan Law Review

I regret exceedingly that I am not able, in the scope of these observations, to include all the states of the American Union, where the home-rule charters have been permitted as a method of city government; but unfortunately my vision has not passed beyond the horizon of my own state, and the workings of the home­rule system in other states must be left as a subject for future study and comparison. With pardonable pride, however, it may be said that the State of Minnesota, while she has erred with her sister commonwealths in experimental over-legislation, has nevertheless recently placed upon …

Supreme Court And Unconstitutional Acts Of Congress, Edwin S. Corwin Jun 1906

Supreme Court And Unconstitutional Acts Of Congress, Edwin S. Corwin

Michigan Law Review

The power of the Supreme Court of the United States to supervise Congressional legislation has been so generally assumed in the recent discussions, both in and out of Congress, of the proposed Rate Bill, and is indeed so apparently settled today that it becomes of interest to inquire into the intention of the Constitutional Fathers in this matter. Did the Fathers intend that the federal judiciary should have the right to declare an act of Congress of no effect because transgressing constitutional limits? It does not detract from the interest of this question that two recent authorities who attempt to …

Constitutional Limitations On Primary Election Legislation, Floyd R. Mechem Mar 1905

Constitutional Limitations On Primary Election Legislation, Floyd R. Mechem

Michigan Law Review

In determining what aspect of the general question I should discuss in the brief time available, it seemed to me desirable that I should confine my attention to the constitutional aspect of the matter, leaving the discussion of the practical workings of the various laws actually enacted to those who have had more opportunity to observe them. The constitutional side of the matter has already been very ably discussed by Professor Tuttle in MICHIGAN LAW REVIEW and I do not hope to add materially to what is there said, though certain of the questions may be approached in a somewhat …

Municipal Crisis In Ohio, John Archibald Fairlie Feb 1903

Municipal Crisis In Ohio, John Archibald Fairlie

Michigan Law Review

On June 26th, 1902, the supreme court of Ohio rendered three decisions which precipitated a crisis in municipal affairs in that state. For, by these decisions, the court virtually overruled a long line of precedents, and laid down a principle under which scarcely a city in the state possessed a constitutional government. In consequence, the legislature was summoned in extraordinary session to enact a new municipal code for all the cities and villages in the state. The situation was unparalleled, even in American history; and the task before the general assembly was doubtless the most important single act ofmlnicip,- 1,egislati_u …
