第43章 APPENDIX*(4)

ARTICLE VIII. All charges of war, and all other expenses that shall be incurred for the common defence or general welfare, and allowed by the United States in Congress assembled, shall be defrayed out of a common treasury, which shall be supplied by the several States, in proportion to the value of all land within each State, granted to or surveyed for any person, as such land and the buildings and improvements thereon shall be estimated according to such mode as the United States in Congress assembled, shall from time to time direct and appoint.

The taxes for paying that proportion shall be laid and levied by the authority and direction of the Legislatures of the several States within the time agreed upon by the United States in Congress assembled.

ARTICLE IX. The United States in Congress assembled, shall have the sole and exclusive right and power of determining on peace and war, except in the cases mentioned in the sixth article--of sending and receiving ambassadors--entering into treaties and alliances, provided that no treaty of commerce shall be made whereby the legislative power of the respective States shall be restrained from imposing such imposts and duties on foreigners, as their own people are subjected to, or from prohibiting the exportation or importation of any species of goods or commodities whatsoever--of establishing rules for deciding in all cases, what captures on land or water shall be legal, and in what manner prizes taken by land or naval forces in the service of the United States shall be divided or appropriated--of granting letters of marque and reprisal in times of peace--appointing courts for the trial of piracies and felonies committed on the high seas and establishing courts for receiving and determining finally appeals in all cases of captures, provided that no member of Congress shall be appointed a judge of any of the said courts.

The United States in Congress assembled shall also be the last resort on appeal in all disputes and differences now subsisting or that hereafter may arise between two or more States concerning boundary, jurisdiction or any other cause whatever; which authority shall always be exercised in the manner following.

Whenever the legislative or executive authority or lawful agent of any State in controversy with another shall present a petition to Congress, stating the matter in question and praying for a hearing, notice thereof shall be given by order of Congress to the legislative or executive authority of the other State in controversy, and a day assigned for the appearance of the parties by their lawful agents, who shall then be directed to appoint by joint consent, commissioners or judges to constitute a court for hearing and determining the matter in question: but if they cannot agree, Congress shall name three persons out of each of the United States, and from the list of such persons each party shall alternately strike out one, the petitioners beginning, until the number shall be reduced to thirteen; and from that number not less than seven, nor more than nine names as Congress shall direct, shall in the presence of Congress be drawn out by lot, and the persons whose names shall be so drawn or any five of them, shall be commissioners or judges, to hear and finally determine the controversy, so always as a major part of the judges who shall hear the cause shall agree in the determination: and if either party shall neglect to attend at the day appointed, without showing reasons, which Congress shall judge sufficient, or being present shall refuse to strike, the Congress shall proceed to nominate three persons out of each State, and the Secretary of Congress shall strike in behalf of such party absent or refusing; and the judgment and sentence of the court to be appointed, in the manner before prescribed, shall be final and conclusive; and if any of the parties shall refuse to submit to the authority of such court, or to appear or defend their claim or cause, the court shall nevertheless proceed to pronounce sentence, or judgment, which shall in like manner be final and decisive, the judgment or sentence and other proceedings being in either case transmitted to Congress, and lodged among the acts of Congress for the security of the parties concerned: provided that every commissioner, before he sits in judgment, shall take an oath to be administered by one of the judges of the supreme or superior court of the State where the cause shall be tried, "well and truly to hear and determine the matter in question, according to the best of his judgment, without favour, affection or hope of reward:" provided also that no State shall be deprived of territory for the benefit of the United States.

All controversies concerning the private right of soil claimed under different grants of two or more States, whose jurisdiction as they may respect such lands, and the States which passed such grants are adjusted, the said grants or either of them being at the same time claimed to have originated antecedent to such settlement of jurisdiction, shall on the petition of either party to the Congress of the United States, be finally determined as near as may be in the same manner as is before prescribed for deciding disputes respecting territorial jurisdiction between different States.

  • 大山生气了(百万理财教育成长必备)

    大山生气了(百万理财教育成长必备)

    所谓的理财,就是管理钱财。管理钱财的第一步,则是认识被管理的“钱”。为什么需要钱?可以用钱来做什么?钱是万能的吗?本书用一个简单的小故事,用每个孩子成长过程中都会经历的集卡行为来引导孩子认识“钱”,进而理解“钱”的“交换”功能和价值,并进一步让父母透过这个故事和孩子讨论以下三个理财重点:1.要如何决定物品交换的价值?又要如何决定钱的价值?2.钱不是万能的。金钱能买许多东西,但是不能买感情,更不能取代或替换友情和亲情,所以不能单纯以金钱的价值来衡量和交换所有物品。3.引导孩子在有限的资源下学习取舍,学会如何使用钱来产生最大的效益。
  • 慷慨的正义:上帝的恩典如何让我们行义

    慷慨的正义:上帝的恩典如何让我们行义

    凯勒在书中剖析了行义就是惩罚罪恶、行义会带来纯正教义和灵性活力的亏损等错误观念,指出施行正义就是关心穷人和弱势群体,这是圣经的重要教导,与正统教义和福音使命不相矛盾。凯勒借着对圣经经文的分析和生动实例,让人感受到上帝对于穷人和弱势群体深切的爱,同时让人看到今日信徒和教会在行义上深深的亏欠。更重要的是,凯勒指出,上帝的恩典是行义的动力;正如信心必然带来行为,蒙恩必然使人行义。本书读来让人心里火热,想要将信仰付诸实践,以爱的行动去关心困苦的人群,并建设充满慷慨正义的社区。
