A urges me to mention, a circum
stance which seems to favour theop
pofite fide of the question, viz. The

which extends the judicial power
to controversies " between a State

does also extend that power to con
troversies to which the United States
are a party. —Now, it may be laid,

both plaintiff and defendant, it fol

equal rights of the people are dis
cernable in almost every sentence
of it ; and it is to be regreted that
the provision in it which we have
been corifidering, has not in every
instance received the approbation
and acquiescence which it merits.
Georgia has in strong language ad
vocated the cause of republican
equality • ,and there is reason to
hope that the people of that State
will yet perceive that it would not
have been consistent with that
equality, to have exempted the
body of her citizens from that fu
ability which they are at this mo
ment exercising against citizens of
another State.
For my ownpart, I am convinc
ed that the sense in which I under-
far improved, and the science of
government advanced to such a
degree of perfection, as that the
whole nation could, in the peaces
ble course of law, be eompelable
to do justice, and be sued by indi
vidual citizens—whether that is. or
is not now the case, ought not to
be thus collaterally and incidental
ly decided—l leave it a queftioo.
As this opinion, though deliber
ately formed, has been hastily re
duced to writing between the in
tervals of the daily adjournments,
and while my mind was .occupied
and wearied by the business of the
day, I fear it is less concise and con
neded than it might otherwise have
been. I have made no references
to cases, because I know of none
that are not distinguishable from
this case ; nor does it appear to me
necessary to (hew that the sen
timents of the best writers on
government and the rights of
men, harmonize with the princi
ples which direst my judgment on
the present question. The ads of
the former Congresses, and the
ads of many of the State Conven
tions, are replete with similar ideas ;
and to the honpur of the United
States, it may be observed, that in
no other country are fubjeds of
this kind better, if so well, under
flood. The attention and attach
ment of the Constitution to the
tions againff the United States,
there is no power which the courts
can call to their aid. From this
diftinftion important conclusions
are deducible, and they place the
case of a State, and the case of the
United States, in very different
points of view.
I with the state of society was so
to be fair reasoning— but the fame
principles of candor which urge
me to mention this objection, allo
urge me to suggest an important
difference between the two cases
—it is this— -io all cases of aaions
against States or individual citizens,
the National Courts are supported
in all their legal and cooftitutional
proceedings and judgments, by the
arms of the executive power of the
United States —but in cases of ac-
and and have explained the words
For the reasons before given, I
am clearly of opinion, that a State
is suable by citizens of another
State ; but left I should be under
flood in a latitude beyond my
meaning, 1 think it necessary to
subjoin this caution, viz. That
such fuability may nevertheless not
extend to all demands, and to eve
ry kind of aftion—there may be
exceptions—for instance—l am far
from being prepared to fay that an
individual may foe a State on bills
of credit issued before the Consti
tution was eftablilhed, and which
were issued and received on the
faith of the State, and at a time
when no ideas or expedition of
judicial interposition were enter
tained or contemplated.
" controvei fies between States and
citizens of another State,'' is the
true sense; The extension of the
judiciary power of the United
States to such controversies, ap
pears to me to be wife, because it is
bonefl, and because it is ufeful.
It is boneff, because it provides
for doing justice without refpea of
persons, and by securing individ
ual citizens as well as States, in
their refpedive rights, performs
the promise which every free gov
ernment makes to every free citi
zen, of equal justice and protec
tion.
It is ufeful, because it is honest
—because it leaves not even the_
most obfeure and friendlefs citizen
without the means of obtaining jus
tice from a neighbouring State—
becaufe it obviates occasions of
quarrels between States on account
of the claims of their refpedive
citizens—because it recognizes and
strongly rests on this great moral
truth, that justice is the fame wheth
er due from one man to a million,
or from a million to one man—-
because it teaches and greatly ap
preciates the'value of bur free
republican national government,
which places all our citizens on an
equal footing, and enables each
and every of them to obtain justice
without any danger of being over
borne by the weight and number
of their opponents—and because
it brings into aftion, and enforces
this great and glorious principle,
thartthe people are she sovereigns
of this country, and consequently
that fellow citizens and joint sover
eigns cannot be degraded by ap
pearing with each other in their
own Courts, to have their contro
verfies' determined. The people
have reason to prize and rejoice in
such valuable privileges ; and they
ought not to forget, that nothing
but the free course of constitution
al law and government can ensure
the continuance and enjoyment of
them.
