Each one is bound to abide by all its engagements, — to discharge faithfully the obligations into which it has entered. You may say they are sovereign, and, therefore, sole masters of their own acts, — judges of their own obligations, — and subject to no common and controlling tribunal. Even if they were so once, they ceased to be so when they parted with a por- tion of their ...sovereignty and agreed to accept a common arbiter.
