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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Here the General Assembly is seeking no necessary information, and none of the duties involved by this act upon the Legislative Delegation are of a supervisory nature, or are incidental to their duties as members of the Legislature, but on the other hand are fully discretionary acts, relating' exclusively to the executive functions in the government of Greenville county, and in our opinion such parts of the acts as attempt to give the delegation the discretion to say what amount of bonds should be issued, how they should be issued, and what roads should be constructed or improved by the proceeds of the bonds and the loan, are clear violations of article 1, section 14, of the Constitution, and are therefore null and void.””
