Note 1051 — Chapter VII
Reading edition
Ib. The resolutions, offered by John Wayles Eppes, Jefferson's son-in-law, "instructed" Virginia's Senators and requested her Representatives in Congress to "procure" these amendments to the Constitution:
1. The judicial power shall not extend to any power "not expressly granted ... or absolutely necessary for carrying the same into execution."
2. Neither the National Government nor any department thereof shall have power to bind "conclusively" the States in conflicts between Nation and State.
3. The judicial power of the Nation shall never include "any case in which a State shall be a party," except controversies between States; nor cases involving the rights of a State "to which such a state shall ask to become a party."
4. No appeal to any National court shall be had from the decisions of any State court.
5. Laws applying to the District of Columbia or the Territories, which conflict with State laws, shall not be enforceable within State jurisdiction. (Niles, xxi, 404.)
