The Acme Of Judicial Distinction

That The People Have An Original Right To Establish, For Their Future Government, Such Principles As, In Their Opinion, Shall Most Conduce To Their Own Happiness, Is The Basis, On Which The Whole American Fabric Has Been Erected.... The Principles, Therefore, So Established, Are Deemed Fundamental. And As The Authority, From Which They Proceed, Is Supreme ... They Are Designed To Be Permanent.... The Powers Of The Legislature Are Defined, And Limited; And That Those Limits May Not Be Mistaken, Or Forgotten, The Constitution Is Written.

A Corporation Is An Artificial Being, Invisible, Intangible, And Existing Only In Contemplation Of Law.

To Obtain A Just Compromise, Concession Must Not Only Mutual-it Must Be Equal Also....there Can Be No Hope That Either Will Yield More Than It Gets In Return.

A Legislative Act Contrary To The Constitution Is Not Law.

The Power To Tax Involves The Power To Destroy;...the Power To Destroy May Defeat And Render Useless The Power To Create.
