American Law Register (Volume 22) (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1883. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... Supreme Court of the United States. THE UNITED STATES v. MURRAY STANLEY. SAME B. MICHAEL RYAN. SAME v. SAMUEL NICHOLS. SAME i). SAMUEL D. SINGLETON. ROBINSON v.

The 1st and 2d sections of the Civil Rights Act, passed March 1st 1875, are tinconstitutional enactments as applied to the several states, not being authorized either by the Thirteenth or Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment is prohibitory upon the states only, and the legislation authorized to be adopted by Congress for enforcing it is not direct legislation on the matters respecting which the states are prohibited from making or enforcing certain laws, or doing certain acts, but is corrective legislation, such as may be necessary or proper for counteracting and redressing the effect of such laws or acts. The Thirteenth Amendment relates only to slavery and involuntary servitude (which it abolishes); and although, by its reflex action, it establishes universal freedom in the United States, and Congress may probably pass laws directly enforcing its provisions, yet such legislative power extends only to the subject of slavery and its incidents; and the denial of equal accommodations in inns, public conveyances and places of public amusement (which is forbidden by the sections in question), imposes no badge of slavery or involuntary servitude upon the party, but at most infringes rights which are protected from state aggression by the Fourteenth Amendment. Whether the accommodations and privileges sought to be protected by the 1st and 2d sections of the Civil Rights Act are or are not rights constitutionally demandablc, and if they are, in what form they are to be protected, is not now decided. Nor is it decided whether the law as it stands...
