Conflict Of Laws -- Constitutionality Of State Statutes Governing Ability Of Nonresident Aliens To Receive Property Under American Wills: Zschernig V. Miller, Richard N. Hale

Vanderbilt Law Review

An excellent illustration of the vertical conflict of laws problem involves the ability of nonresident aliens to receive property under American wills. Traditionally, under the American federal system,the acquisition and transmission of property located within a state has been controlled by state law. Yet article I, section 10 of the United States Constitution imposes strict limitations on a state's power to deal with matters having a bearing on international relations, such matters being within the ambit of the national government.

Vanderbilt Law Review

For lawyers there is the ever present question, which of them applies to a case: the law of a state, to be interpreted finally by the courts of the state; or national law--federal law, as it is usually called--of which the Supreme Court of the United States is the final arbiter?

Interstate and international matters, with which conflict of laws deals, involve national as well as state interests. In the United States it …
