Note 1140 — Chapter XVII · THE NEW ORDER

Willoughby, Territories and Dependencies, pp. 54 ff.; Bryce, American Commonwealth, vol. I, pp. 553 ff. The constitutions of the territories may be found in Organic Acts, Senate Document No. 148, 56th Congress, 1st Session. As an example of legislative review, cf. p. 96 (New Mexico): “All the laws passed by the legislative assembly and governor shall be submitted to the Congress of the United States, and, if disapproved, shall be null and of no effect.” Under the act organizing a government in Alaska, in 1884, it was specifically provided that there should be no legislative assembly.
