Descrição do livro
The American Law Journal by John Elihu Hall presents a historical survey of early American constitutional and land law, focusing on the Yazoo era, Georgia-Western land claims, and federal–state power. The compilation assembles executive opinions, acts, and analytical discussions that illuminate how proclamations, charters, treaties, and congressional actions defined territorial boundaries and allocated land. It scrutinizes the tension between private land speculation and the public interest, the legitimacy—and limits—of large state-backed sales, and whether federal authority can override state acquisitions. The work traces boundary settlements between Georgia and South Carolina, the 1789 Yazoo sales and 1795 repeal, and Harper’s 1796 opinion on U.S. title to lands north of key lines, presenting competing constitutional arguments about retroactivity and the binding force of prior contracts. Additional sections cover Louisiana batture/alluvion, demonstrating ongoing debates about property rights, due process, and the balance of powers in the young republic.
