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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Power to organize and regulate municipal governments must be found in the constitution or none exists, and the manner in which such power is exercised rests entirely in the discretion of the legislature. ... So far as the constitution is concerned the legislature may vest all the executive, legislative and judicial power of a city in a single person or body of persons, if it should conclude that plan would best promote the public welfare.” (p. 651.)”
