To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As Coke says, the king can arrest no man, for there is no remedy against him. The separate States did not, however, possess entire sovereignty. Some of its attributes had been conceded at the time of the Confederation, and so many more for the purpose of forming "a more perfect union, " that it was a ques tion whether they could of themselves exercise any sovereign powers whatever. Indeed, all those claimed for them by Jefferson in the Declaration, had in express terms been conferred upon the N...ational Government. The Supreme Court has authority to issue writs of execution against one State to sat isfy a judgment obtained by another ; and in becom ing amenable to those issued for the benefit of a private citizen, the dignity of a State would be no further compromised. The court may even now wrest from its possession an individual held in con travention of his rights as a citizen of the United States, but the sufferer under a Constitutional amendment has no means of redress for the injury to person or property that he may have sustained from the States.
