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 59 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The general rule is that it is sufficient, in making a criminal charge, to follow the words of the statute which declares the offense, but this rule does not apply when the statute does not prescribe with definiteness the constituents of the offense. The defendant has the constitutional right to `demand the nature and cause of his accusation,' so that he may identify the particular charge and offense.”
