Stranica 26 - It is chiefly for the purpose of clothing bodies of men in succession with these qualities and capacities that corporations were invented and arc in use. By these means, a perpetual succession of individuals are capable of acting for the promotion of the particular object, like one immortal being.
Stranica 16 - If the States may tax one instrument, employed by the government in the execution of its powers, they may tax any and every other instrument.

Stranica 7 - I do solemnly swear that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich; and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge all the duties incumbent on me as , according to the best of my abilities and understanding, agreeably to the constitution and laws of the United States.
Stranica 15 - The sovereignty of a State extends to everything which exists by its own authority, or is introduced by its permission; but does it extend to those means which are employed by Congress to carry into execution powers conferred on that body by the people of the United States ? We think it demonstrable that it does not.
Stranica 34 - it extends to the protection of the lives, limbs, health, comfort, and quiet of all persons, and the protection of all property within the State.
Stranica 10 - If this were otherwise, the State must have become foreign, and her citizens foreigners. The war must have ceased to be a war for the suppression of rebellion, and must have become a war for conquest and subjugation.
