Page 566 - By the Constitution a treaty is placed on the same footing, and made of like obligation, with an act of legislation. Both are declared by that instrument to be the supreme law of the land, and no superior efficacy is given to either over the other.
Page 544 - Congress is empowered to do. Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.
