Michigan Law Review

The Right of the Patentee to Control the Resale Price - Of the recent decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, Bauer and Cie. v. O'Donnell, the so-called Price Maintenance Case, was of vital importance to a large number of manufacturers of patented articles. That this decision had a great effect upon such manufacturers is evidenced by the various ingenious methods ahd devices which have since been adopted by numerous manufacturers to avoid the operation and application of the principles set forth in the decision of that case.

Basic Doctrine Of American Constitutional Law, Edward Corwin Feb 1914

Basic Doctrine Of American Constitutional Law, Edward Corwin

Michigan Law Review

The two leading doctrines of American Constitutional Law before the Civil War, affecting state legislative power, were the Doctrine of Vested Rights and the Doctrine of the Police Power. The two doctrines are in a way complementary concepts, inasmuch as they represent the reaction upon each other of the earlier conflicting theories of natural rights and legislative sovereignty. But the older doctrine is the, doctrine of vested rights, which may be said to have flourished before the rise of the Jacksonian Democracy. Furthermore, if Constitutional Law be regarded from the point of view of its main purpose, namely, that of …

Michigan Law Review

Interstate Commerce and State Control Over Foreign Corporations - Since Bank of Augusta v. Earle, 13 Pet. 519, there seems to have been no real occasion to doubt the power of a state totally to exclude foreign corporations seeking to engage in intrastate business only. The power to exclude being absolute, there has been no question as to the right of the state to allow the entrance of the foreign corporation for such business upon terms, and the terms may be of any sort, reasonable or unreasonable, except that the corporation seeking to enter cannot as a condition precedent to …

The District Court (196 Fed. 571), viewing this as a judgment grounded solely in contract, and not in tort as "for -will-ful and malicious injury to the person or property of another," or for "seduction of an unmarried female," held …

Note And Comment, George S. Burgess, Samuel H. Morris, William T. Hoffman

Michigan Law Review

Ten-Hour Labor Laws - The United States Supreme Court will soon have another opportunity to pass on the questions involved in that thorn. in the flesh of social reformers-the Bakeshop Case-if, as is probable, a case recently decided by the Mississippi Supreme Court is carried higher. Last year Mississippi enacted a sweeping ten-hour law making it unlawful for persons, firms or corporations engaged, in manufacturing or repairing "to work their employees more than ten hours per day except in cases of emergency or -where public necessity requires." Defendant, engaged in the manufacture of lumber and in the repair of its …

Amending State Constitutions, J B. Whitfield Feb 1913

Amending State Constitutions, J B. Whitfield

Michigan Law Review

In the dual system of Federal and State government as it exists in the United States of America, the constitution is the solemnly formulated chart by which the people of a State in their sovereign capacity prescribe the limits within which the natural rights of persons may be regulated by law for the public welfare, and define and limit the authority, powers and duties of those who are charged with the administration of the government of the State. The existing constitution of a State is the last and paramount word of authority and control from the sovereign people; and its …

A Historic Judicial Controversy And Some Reflections Suggested By It., S. S. Gregory Jan 1913

A Historic Judicial Controversy And Some Reflections Suggested By It., S. S. Gregory

Michigan Law Review

Probably most well informed persons of the present generation associate the notion, once maintained, that a state might secede or nullify an act of Congress, with the South and its earlier statesmen. And it is time that the resolutions drawn substantially by Jefferson and adopted by the Legislature of Kentucky in 1798, and similar resolutions drafted by Madison and adopted by the General Assembly of Virginia in the same year, together with some similar and more explicit declarations by the Legislature of the former state in 1799, seem to furnish some warrant for this impression. Yet it seems to be …

National Power And State Interposition 1787-1861, Edwin S. Corwin

Michigan Law Review

Fifty years have elapsed since South Carolina pretended to leave the Union. Looking over recent writings of northern men on the constitutional phase of that momentous event, one will find among their authors a strong disposition to throw up the whole case on the question of the legal rightfulness of secession. For this phenomenon four reasons may be assigned : (1) sheer human indolence; (2) the fact that the apologetic zeal of the conquered is notoriously apt to overbear the conciliatory complacency of the conqueror; (3) the fact that by a species of intellectual inertia the mind of the student …

The Law In The United States In Its Relation To Religion, Edwin C. Goddard Jan 1912

The Law In The United States In Its Relation To Religion, Edwin C. Goddard

Michigan Law Review

Man is a religious being. To him, everywhere and always, religion and religious institutions have been and, will be of prime concern. He is also a social being. As such he has always found it necessary to live in an organized society, under some form of government. Man never has lived to himself alone. Government is not an invention, a necessary evil, to which men submit. On the contrary, from the most primitive beginnings it has been man's natural though imperfect instrument for controlling and developing the social estate so essential to his very existence. And universally this government has …

The Use And The Abuse Of The Commerce Clause, Fred'k H. Cooke Dec 1911

The Use And The Abuse Of The Commerce Clause, Fred'k H. Cooke

Michigan Law Review

The visible universe, from the giant constellation down to the infinitesimal corpuscle, is in a condition of eternal movement, or, we may say, a condition of eternal transportation. Indeed, there seems to be no phenomenon more universal than this transportation. But we are to here consider it merely as a phenomenon of life, in particular, of human life. In common with other higher animals, man possesses organs that characterize him as a being eminently fitted for transportation; his arms; his legs; even his vocal organs, fitted for transportation (or transmission) of the intangible, that is, of intelligence communicated from one …
