The Treaty Power And American Federalism, Curtis A. Bradley
The Treaty Power And American Federalism, Curtis A. Bradley
Michigan Law Review
For much of this century, American foreign affairs law has assumed that there is a sharp distinction between what is foreign and what is domestic, between what is external and what is internal. This assumption underlies a dual regime of constitutional law, in which federal regulation of foreign affairs is subject to a different, and generally more relaxed, set of constitutional restraints than federal regulation of domestic affairs. In what is perhaps its most famous endorsement of this proposition, the Supreme Court stated in 1936 that "the federal power over external affairs [is] in origin and essential character different from …

International Law - The Abrogation Of Treaties By War, David R. Macdonald S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
In 1923, the United States and Germany entered into a treaty, one provision of which exempted from taxation the government property of either nation situated in the territory of the other. From the outbreak of World War II in 1941 through 1948 the City and County of San Francisco levied real property taxes on the German Consulate, assuming that this treaty had been abrogated by the outbreak of hostilities between the two nations. The taxes were paid under protest, and the Attorney General, as successor to the Alien Property Custodian, sued and recovered them in the trial court. On appeal, …
