States And Foreign Relations, John M. Matthews
States And Foreign Relations, John M. Matthews
Michigan Law Review
The conduct of a nation's foreign relations may be affected to a considerable extent by its internal governmental organization. Generally speaking, a more energetic and effective foreign policy is possible for a nation whose government is characterized by unity and coherence. This is true not only with reference to the relations between the -departments of the central government, but also with reference to the relations between the central government and the local or state governments. In countries whose government is based on the federal plan, therefore, an important question to be considered is that as to the extent, if any, …
History Of Michigan Constitutional Provision Prohibiting A General Revision Of The Laws, W L. Jenks
History Of Michigan Constitutional Provision Prohibiting A General Revision Of The Laws, W L. Jenks
Michigan Law Review
Alone among the states of the Union, Michigan has, since i85o, pr6hibited any general revision of the laws and permits only a compilation of laws in force without alteration. As practically all the neighboring states, as well as New York, from which much of the early legislatiorf of Michigan was derived, have continued to revise their statutes from time to time, it may be interesting to see why Michigan alone has thought it desirable not only to stop the practice which it followed until I85o, but to prevent effectually its legislature from ever attempting it in the future.

New Hampshire Constitutional Convention, Leonard D. White
New Hampshire Constitutional Convention, Leonard D. White
Michigan Law Review
New Hampshire's tenth constitutional convention, upon whose labors the voters will pass judgment in November, 1920, offers a striking contrast to most constitutional conventions of recent years.' It met originally in June, 1918, sat for three days, during which it organized, appointed its committees, debated andt disposed of an important constitutional question, and then adjourned awaiting the quieter days of peace. Upon reconvening in January, igo, it concluded its work within seventeen days, at an expense of less than $5oooo, and proposed only seven amendments, five of which had been submitted to the voters by previous conventions. For a body …

Constitutional Law In 1919-1920, Iii, Thomas Reed Powell
Constitutional Law In 1919-1920, Iii, Thomas Reed Powell
Michigan Law Review
Five of the corporations which fought in vain against exercises of the police power profited nothing from their grasp at the obligation-of-contracts clause. In Milwaukee Electric Ry. & Light Co. v. Wisconsin2 the contract relied on was a clause in the charter of a street railroad imposing on it the duty to keep the space between and near its tracks in good repair "with the same material as the city shall have last used to pave or repave these spaces and the street previous to such repairs, unless the railway company and the board of public works of said city …
Constitutional Law In 1919-1920 Ii, Thomas Reed Powell
Constitutional Law In 1919-1920 Ii, Thomas Reed Powell
Michigan Law Review
Two important cases sustained objections to applications of the federal income tax. In each there was vigorous dissent. Evans v. Gore2 held that the constitutional provision that the federal judges shall receive "a compensation which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office" applies to diminution by inclusion of that compensation in the assessment of the general federal tax on net income. The case at bar involved a tax on the i918 compensation of a judge appointed in 1899. While not directly qualified by anything in the opinion, the decision would seem to have no application to judges appointed …
Local And Special Legislation In Missouri Under The Constitution Of 1875 (Continued), Roscoe E. Harper
Local And Special Legislation In Missouri Under The Constitution Of 1875 (Continued), Roscoe E. Harper
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
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.
Constitutional Law In 1919-1920, Thomas Reed Powell
Constitutional Law In 1919-1920, Thomas Reed Powell
Michigan Law Review
This review aims to include all the decisions on constitutional questions rendered by the Supreme'Court of the United States during the October Term of court which began in October, i919, and ended in June, i92o.1 The treatment for the most part contents itself with exposition. The footnotes give references to articles and editorial notes in recognized law journals commenting on the cases here reviewed and on the more important constitutional decisions of other courts.2 The classification of the cases and the arrangement of topics are not satisfactory, but no alternative seems distinctly superior. A classification on the basis of the …
Constitution Of The Empire Of Japan, George A. Malcolm
Constitution Of The Empire Of Japan, George A. Malcolm
Michigan Law Review
In the history of the Japanese people, five dates stand out above all others. They are 66o B. 'C., when, according to legendary account, the Empire of Japan was founded .by the Emperor Jinmu; 1853, when Commodore Perry, with an American squadron, anchored offside what is now Yokohama and caused the opening of Japan to foreign intercourse; 1867-1868, when there was a restoration'of the monarchy, marking the beginning of the Meiji Era of Constitutionalism; and 1889, when the Constitution of Japan was promulgated.

Local And Special Legislation In Missouri Under The Constitution Of 1875 - Part I - Local And Special Legislation In Missouri Prior To Constitution Of 1875, Roscoe E. Harper
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
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.

Power Of Congress To Declare Peace, Edward S. Corwin
Power Of Congress To Declare Peace, Edward S. Corwin
Michigan Law Review
In the course of the discussion which has been aroused in Congress by the proposal to declare hostilities with Germany at an end by joint resolution, Senator Thomas of Colorado has brought forward evidence showing that on one occasion the Convention which framed the Constitution voted down unanimously a motion to vest Congress with the power to "make peace." This evidence is good so far as it goes, but it does not support all of Senator Thomas's deductions from it, nor indeed has he given an altogether complete account of it. The proposal in question was made and rejected by …
League Of Nations And The Constitution, J M. Matthews
League Of Nations And The Constitution, J M. Matthews
Michigan Law Review
The Covenant for a League of Nations has justly aroused an immense amount of discussion in this country, since it undoubtedly presents to the American nation the most important of the many questions of foreign policy growing out of the Great War. Most of this discussion has dealt with the matter solely from the standpoint of policy or expediency, without noticing the interesting constitutional questions involved. When the Covenant has, on occasion, been considered from the constitutional point of view, such corsideration has generally been merely incidental and the writer's or speaker's views as to the desirability of subscribing to …

Tyranny Of The Taxing Power, Andrew A. Bruce
Tyranny Of The Taxing Power, Andrew A. Bruce
Michigan Law Review
It has been frequently stated that our constitutions and our courts were made and organized for the protection of capital and of the vested interests. If this be the case, they are manifestly inadequate for their purpose, and the danger of the future is not that capital will be too much protected but that the reckless extravagance of today will continue and be increased, and that our representatives in our city councils, our state legislatures, and our national congress, who depend for their elections upon the votes of the majority who have accumulated little or nothing, will more and more …
Constitutional Law - War Powers Of Congress (Validity Of Conscription Act), Francis Joseph Vurpillat
Constitutional Law - War Powers Of Congress (Validity Of Conscription Act), Francis Joseph Vurpillat
Journal Articles
This paper was read before The Round Table of South Bend, Indiana, and before the classes in constitutional law prior to the rendition of the decision by the United States Supreme Court, sustaining the Conscription Act. The paper is here presented in its original form, by request, on account of its controversial character and legal-brief style, the subject-matter of constitutional law and war powers being ever new to students of the law.
Intrinsic Limitations On The Power Of Constitutional Amendment, George D. Skinner
Intrinsic Limitations On The Power Of Constitutional Amendment, George D. Skinner
Michigan Law Review
Just as the war has educated the public in geography, so the question of amending the organic law of the country has stimulated discussion concerning our own legal and political institutions. The amendments providing for the direct election of senators and for federal power to levy an income tax attracted little attention compared with the sudden interest in legal questions which the so-called prohibition amendment has aroused, for it touches upon a matter of very intimate personal concern to many people and one over which very heated controversies have raged. Matters involving, or which are made to involve, moral issues …

United States Department Of State, John M. Mathews
Michigan Law Review
In the conduct of foreign relations, the President, though ultimately responsible to the people for the general success or failure of such conduct, is unable, of course, to give his personal attention to any except what he deems to ,be the most important and momentous questions of policy. For handling the great mass of routine matters and even for the determination of many questions of policy which are of considerable importance, he is dependent upon the assistance of the agencies supplied for that purpose. These agencies are, principally, the department of state, the diplomatic service, and the consular service. These …
Real Significance Of The Proposed Michigan Beer And Wine Amendment, Edwin C. Goddard
Real Significance Of The Proposed Michigan Beer And Wine Amendment, Edwin C. Goddard
Articles
DISCUSSION of proposed prohibitory amendments to Constitutions, State or Federal, are usually regarded as part of the wet and dry fight in which lawyers are interested only as citizens. Before the recent Cleveland Meeting of the American Bar Association the bar of the country was circularized by a protest, signed by a number of very well known lawyers, urging the bar to take action against putting into the fundamental law, the Constitution, such matters as the regulation of what the people shall drink. These lawyers presented their case at the Cleveland meeting and vigorously attempted to induce the American Bar …
Religious Liberty In The American Law, Carl Zollman
Religious Liberty In The American Law, Carl Zollman
Michigan Law Review
It remains to examine the application of this principle* to particu- 1 lar offenses. Statutes have been passed against blasphemy and offenders have been prosecuted under them. This, as said in a Massachusetts case, has not been done "to prevent or restrain the formation of any opinions or the profession of any religious sentiments whatever but to restrain and punish acts which have a tendency to disturb the public peace.185 To prohibit the open, public, and explicit denial of the-popular religion of a country is a necessary measure to preserve the tranquility of a government. Of this no person in …
Religious Liberty In The American Law, Carl Zollman
Religious Liberty In The American Law, Carl Zollman
Michigan Law Review
When the convention which framed the federal constitution assembled in Philadelphia in 1787 religious tests as a qualification for office were actually a part of the constitutions of most of the thirteen original states.' While Massachusetts2 and%,Maryland3 required from certain state officers only a declaration of a belief in the Christian religion, the fundamental law of Georgia, New Hampshire, New Jersey and North Carolina4 limited such belief to the Protestant religion and was designed to require a positive and affirmative test and not merely the negative qualification of not being a Roman Catholic.0 The Delaware, North Carolina and Pennsylvania constitutions7 …
Federal Incorporation, Myron W. Watkins
Federal Incorporation, Myron W. Watkins
Michigan Law Review
The course of development which rate regulation in general in this country passed through is well known. It may be briefly stated as follows: in the early cases it was held that when a state legislature prescribed a scale of maximum charges for a business affected with a public interest they substituted their will for the common law rule of reasonableness, and their determinations were held final and conclusive. This view was gradually modified so as to place a limitation upon the power of the law-making body in accordance with the view that the "use and income of property, as …
