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. ““A state statute requiring every person selling fruit trees or other nursery stock grown outside the state to file an affidavit with the secretary of state, and a bond of $2,000, and to exhibit to each purchaser a certificate of the Secretary that he has complied with these -provisions (Laws Minn. 1887, c. 196. §§ 1-3), is unconstitutional, as imposing vexatious and annoying restrie-tions upon interstate commerce (article 1, § 8, cl. 3), and cannot be upheld on the ground that it is intended to protect the citizens of the state from the fraudulent representations of such dealers. “ ‘When a state undertakes by statute to deprive citizens of other states who deal in sound articles of commerce produced in those states of that presumption of honesty and good intent which it indulges in favor of its own citizens who deal in its own products, and which the law raises in favor of every man, it effectually deprives the citizens of those states of some of the most valuable privileges and immunities its own citizen^ enjoy.’ ””
