Note 344 — Chapter IX · THE LAW OF STATE COMITY, TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS

National Bank v. County of Yankton, supra. But all rights commonly known as fundamental do not work as limitations of the power of Congress to govern Territories or “outlying possessions”; see Downes v. Bidwell, 182 U. S., 244 (1901). Until this decision these fundamental rights were construed as limitations of the power of Congress in its government of Territories; see Callan v. Wilson, 127 U. S., 540 (1888). Thompson v. Utah, 170 U. S., 343 (1898).
