Justice Brown does not attempt to determine
I just how far this sovereignty extends. Nobody
supposes that Congress as the creation of the

natural rights of people subject to its jurisdiction,

number of legal points involved, some of which
seem crucial to one man while others are con
trolling with another, and who also fail to ap
preciate that the diffierence manifest in the ma
jority opinions are really differences of degree
ns to the extent of the sovereign powers of the
United States in thegovernment of outlying ter
ritory They all agree that such sovereignty
over possessions to sonic extent unhampered by
the constitution, exists, and to sufficient degree to
warrant the separate tarifl policy of the ad
ministration. None of them contends that
such sovereignty is any where absolute, and their
disagreement is just whereto draw the line.
Justice Brown, in delivering the opinion of
the court, takes what may for want ofa better
description be called the extreme "imperialist"
View. He holds with Rodney, Nicholson and
other Jeffersonian leaders of 1804, that the con
stitution was made for a government of States,
and has no application beyond them except as
Congrcsss may in the exercise of sovereign pow
er not expressly stipulated but long exercised
and held to lie valid, not merely acquired posses
sions, but by positive enactment extend to them
the privileges of the constitution, either in the
part by organizing Territories subject to its gen-
Justioes White, Shiras, McKenna and Gray do
not go ns far as Justice Brown. They think
that the constitution is general in its control so
far as its provisions arc applicable, but they
agree with Justice Brown in bidding that the
uniformity of imposts clause of the constitution
does not apply to outlying territories. They le
lieve in the power of the I'nitcd States to acquire
territory sub modo, and to hold it at discretion
without incorporating it as an integral part of
the United States, and that while so held, of
course, the constitution's rules for domestic ad
ministration arc imperative. They likewise hold
with Justice Brown that at the same time free
dom ami justice are guarded everywhere though
they do not attempt to indicate the line between
fundamental guarantees and administrative rules
of the constitution. These justices also show
some sympathy with the old Federalists, who ap
proved the acquisition of Louisiana as a depend
ency but denied the right of the treaty making
power to incorpoiatc it into the Union; for Jus
tice White points out that immediate and auto
matic extension of the constitution would give to
the President and Senate power in spite of the
people, speaking through Congress, to transform
utterly our government by treaty acquisitions of
millions of aliens, who would thus be incorpor-

divisions have been the rule rather than the ex
ception for nearly seventy years. The great per
sonality of Chief Justice Marshall, and the fact
that American constitutional law was a new
thing very largely created out of hand under Ins
influence, brought alxiut a long series of unani
mous or nearly unanimous decisions in the early
days. Kven Ix'fi ire his death, however, the new
disputes as to the nature of our government made
agreement n such questions difficult, and from
1836 to the Civil War there was the greatest
difference among the justices. In the days of
reconstruction the court continued to divide and
