Halaman 14 - The courts are not the guardians of the rights of the people of the state, except as those rights are secured by some constitutional provision which comes within the judicial cognizance. The protection against unwise or oppressive legislation, within constitutional bounds, is by an appeal to the justice and patriotism of the representatives of the people. If this fail, the people, in their sovereign capacity, can correct the evil ; but courts cannot assume their rights.
Halaman 273 - As a member of a corporation, a government never exercises its sovereignty. It acts merely as a corporator, and exercises no other powers, in the management of the affairs of the corporation, than are expressly given by the incorporating act.
Halaman 350 - ... is not within the statute of frauds, and need not be in writing subscribed by him and expressing the consideration.
Halaman 14 - The rule of law upon this subject appears to be that, except where the Constitution has imposed limits upon the legislative power, It must be considered as practically absolute, whether it operate according to natural justice or not in any parr ticular case.
