To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The immediate opera- tion of a treaty must, therefore, be to overrule all existing laws incom- patible with its stipulations. ''Nor is this inconsistent with the power of Congress to pass subsequent laws, qualifying, altering or wholly annulling a treaty; for such an au- thority, in certain cases, is supported on grounds wholly independent of the treaty-making power. For, as Con- gress possesses the sole right of de- claring war, and as the alteration or abrogation of a treaty tends to pro- duc...e it, the power in question may be regarded as an incident to that of declaring war. The exercise of such a right may be rendered necessary to the public welfare and safety, by measures of the party with whom the treaty was made, contrary to its spirit, or in open violation of its letter; and on such grounds alone can this right be reconciled either with the provisions of the Constitution, or the principles of public law. A memorable instance has occurred in our history of the an- nulment of a treaty by the act of the injured party, in the year 1798, Congress declared that the treaties with France were no longer obliga- tory on the United States, as they had been repeatedly violated by the French Government, and our just claims for reparation disregarded.
