Book Description
Excerpt from The Treaty-Making Power Under the Constitution of the United States The recent action of the State of California in passing an act prohibiting Aliens ineligible to citizenship in the United States from holding land in that State has produced wide discussion, and brings us face to face with the question whether a Treaty between the United States and any foreign country which guarantees to the inhabitants of such country the right to hold land within the bounds of the United States is a Constitutional Treaty and valid, as against the law of a State of the Union prohibiting such holding by such foreigners. No question of more far-reaching effect than this has arisen in our political history within the past few years. The advocates of the affirmative of this proposition for-0 the most part rest their conclusions upon the fact that the Constitution of the United States in words declares that the;, Treaty is the supreme law of the land; and it is also urged, v, the Treaty being an exercise of national power upon subjects which can be treated of by the Federal Government alone, affecting all the citizens of each country bound by the Treaty, that to permit the people of one State, which may be the smallest State in the Union, by its independent and antagonistic action, to defeat a Treaty whose beneficient effects are intended to reach all the people of the United States should not be allowed from the standpoint of justice to the great body of the people of America. The argument ab inconvenienti is persuasive and often effective, but cannot be admitted in the consideration of constitutional rights.

Limitations on the Treaty-Making Power

Book Description
Excerpt from Limitations on the Treaty-Making Power: Under the Constitution of the United States 1. The object of these pages is to discuss the treaty-making power under the Constitution of the United States, and define its limitations. The broader question of the scope of treaties, their construction and binding effect, is a question of international law into which the author does not propose to intrude; this field has been so amply and ably filled that it would be useless to add to it, even did it come within the limits of a treatise of this character. My object is to present in a simple and concrete form, in the discussion in these pages, not the general power of making treaties as applied to nations, nor what ought to be the full scope of such power in the United States, but what, under the Constitution of the United States, w the power of the United States to make and ratify binding treaties. The past fifty years has witnessed a phenomenal growth of these United States, that is alike the surprise and wonder of the world, in material development, in the arts and sciences, in statecraft, and all sociological problems. The position of the United States to-day is second to no nation in the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Treaty-Making Power in the United States: An Address In the beginning President Washington thought it the better plan to meet with the Senate in person before nego tiations were begun. He presented himself accordingly to take their advice touching a proposed treaty with the Southern Indians, propounding a series of questions for their consideration. Discussion broke out, the session was adjourned to the succeeding day, and finally the Father of his Country departed with what one chronicler describes as a 'discontented air adding, 'had it been any other than the man whom I wish to regard as the first character in the world, I would have said with sullen dignity'. 1 Another, with perhaps even closer approach to the facts, reports him as saying when he left t e Chamber that he would be d - d if he ever went there again.2 He kept his word, and although the rules of the Senate still make provision for the decorous procedure to be observed on such occasions, Senator Lodge remarked on the floorof the Senate on January 24, 1906: 'yet I think we should be disposed to resent it if a request of that sort was to be made to us by the President.'3 The precedent thus set remained \un broken for 128 years, or until President Wilson appeared before the Senate on January 23, 1917, _to address them upon the essential terms of peace, chief among these being the formation of aleague of free nations to guarantee peace and freedom throughout the world.

The Exclusive Treaty-Making Power of the European Community
Author: Moshe KanielPublisher: Martinus Nijhoff Publishers
ISBN: 9789041102409
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
This book sheds light on a fascinating process of historic, legal evolution, starting from a situation of doubt as to whether the Community had treaty-making power, and ending with certain treaties being denied to sovereign states and transferred to an international organization. This process is still continuing, and brings in its wake far-reaching results. The author makes distinction between cases where exclusive treaty-making is explicitly specified in the founding treaties, and cases where treaty-making power is implicit, and is derived from the general structure of Community law. Implicit power becomes exclusive only by occupying the field', which means enactment, and exclusive power negates "ab initio" the Member States' power, whereas implicit exclusive power merely negates the competence of the Member States to establish rules conflicting with those of the Community. Scholars, practitioners, lawyers, students and everybody who deals with European Union affairs will find this book of great interest.
