Definitions from Case Law

From 39 U.S. 4 - Lessee of Margaret Lattimer v. William Poteet · 1840Most cited · 16 citing opinions

it is a sound principle of national law, and applies to the treaty-making power of this government, whether exercised with a foreign nation or an Indian tribe, that all questions of disputed boundaries may be settled by the parties to the treaty. And to the exercise of these high functions by the government, within its constitutional powers, neither the rights of a state nor those of an individual can be interposed.
