To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whether such conflict did exist is a question which, by the Con- stitution, can only be determined authoritatively by the Supreme Court of the United States. Congress is not the appropriate and competent tribunal to adjudicate and determine questions of conflict between the Consti- tution of a State and that of the United States. Had Missouri been admitted without any condition or re- striction, she would have had an opportunity of vindi- cating her Constitution and rights in the Supreme Court,... the tribunal created by the Constitution for that purpose. "By the condition imposed upon Missouri, Congress not only deprived that State of a right which she be- lieved she possessed under the Constitution of the United States, but denied her the privilege of vindicat- ing that right in the appropriate and constitutional tribunals by compelling her, ' by a solemn public act, ' to give an irrevocable pledge never to exercise or claim the right. Therefore, Missouri came in under a humili- ating condition — a condition not imposed by the Con- stitution of the United States, and which destroys the principle of equality which should exist, and by the Con- stitution does exist, between all the States of this Union.
