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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is insisted that the restriction imposed upon the rights of alienation by the second section of the net is inconsistent with the spirit and purpose of the first section, which conferred upon .'Jnnaluska all the rights, privileges, and immunities of citizenship. When a state conveys land as a'bounty, .it can impose any restriction deemed proper upon the grantee. When wo consider the condition of that now citizen, we may well conclude that the restriction was not unreasonable, but was, rather, just, wise, and beneficent.””
