Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ The constitution is not a grant of power, or an enabling act, to the legislature. It is a limitation on the general powers of a legislative character, and restrains only so far as the restriction appears, either by express terms or by necessary inference. “ The act of April 19,1856, permitting non-resident aliens to inherit real and personal estate, is constitutional. The constitution (article 1, § 17) [which corresponds to the section of the Colorado constitution I have just read] gives the bona fide resident alien certain rights, which may be enlarged, but cannot be abridged, by the legislature.””
