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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““It is contended that to all intents and purposes, the note in question made the wife and her property liable for the debt in question. “We do not think there is any merit to this contention. Section 1, Article XI of the Constitution sets out in terms the requirement necessary to bind the property of a married woman to pay her husband’s debt. It cannot be done by a plain promissory note but must be done by an instrument in writing, executed according to the law respecting conveyances of married Women.””
