| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The United States of America |
 | | A principle of the Massachusetts constitution of 1780 was interpreted by the supreme court of that state as abolishing slavery. | | | By the Constitution the judicial power of the United States is vested in a supreme court, and such inferior courts as the Congress may, from time to time, ordain and establish. | | | In examining the constitutionality of a state law one is to assume that the state legislature has power to pass all acts whatever, unless they are prohibited by the Constitution of the United States or by the constitution of the state. |
