Note 383 — Chapter X · THE LAW OF LIMITATIONS

Art. i., 4: 1. The right to vote for members of Congress has its foundation in the Constitution of the United States, not in that of any State: Wiley v. Sinkler, 179 U. S., 58; Ex parte Yarbrough, 110 U. S., 651. This means a limitation of State powers,—as some might say; in strictness, it means a definition of federal powers; the jurisdiction of a State cannot exclude the jurisdiction of the United States.
