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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Every statute enacted by the Legislature shall embrace but one object, and shall have a title indicative of its object. “The Legislature may, however, by means of a single statute, enact or re vise a system of laws of a general or public nature, such as the general statutes, or a codification of laws on the same general subject matter, or both. Such a statute shall be deemed to embrace but one object and its title need only refer to the general purpose and scope of the statute.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"* * * At the outset, it is to be observed that it is well settled in this State that, whenever a law or article or section of a code of laws or revised statutes is amended, its title satisfies the requirement of Section 16 of Article 3 of the Constitution by merely stating that it is an act to amend and reenact the particular law or section of the code of laws amended, as such a title clearly indicates the object of the Act . . ."
