Book Description
"The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Obligation of Contracts Clause of the United States Constitution The obligation of a contract is, of course, chiefly deter mined by the language of the particular contract in ques tion, and the courts must necessarily interpret this language for themselves, so that, in many cases, perhaps in the greater part of those here reviewed, the court is engaged simply in construing the language of particular contracts. It is doing what any state court might have to do, under the ordinary law or under provisions in the state constitution, and which the Supreme Court itself might have had to do under the due process clause of the federal Constitution, as well as under the contracts clause. As one of the parties to these contracts is a State, however, a new aspect is put upon the question; the contract is no longer construed by the ordinary rules; it is interpreted in the light of a spe cial canon of construction that has been adopted by the courts, namely, that all such contracts are to be construed strictly against the grantee and in favor of the State. The general nature of this doctrine of strict construction must therefore be considered, and this will be followed by chap ters upon charters, special franchises, rate privileges and tax exemptions, all of which will be chiefly taken up with tracing the application of this doctrine to the facts of par ticular cases. The effect of mortgage foreclosures, consolidations, mer gers, sales and reorganizations of corporations is included in the study, first, because no Opinion can be given upon the question whether a corporation has or has not the privileges which belonged to its predecessor corporation unless one is familiar with the peculiar rules of law applicable to these transactions; secondly, because these rules very largely re sult from an application of the doctrine of strict con struction.
