Excerpt from Michigan Law Journal, 1892, Vol. 1The writer of the article thereupon concludes: When, therefore, the last legislature of Michigan passed a law providing for the choice of electors by districts it was exercising an undoubted right, given it by the Constitution. After this summary disposal of the whole question of the constitutionality of the district system of choosing electors, it may seem a vain thing to discuss it, but as there are a great many intelligent people, including some very good lawyers, who do not agree to that view, it may be worth while to file a dissenting Opinion, and present the other side of the case.The power of a State to appoint presidential electors is a delegated power, and delegated only. It is not among the natural or inherent rights of States. It is delegated to the States by the people of the United States through the Constitution, and cannot be te-delegated to districts or minor municipalities. It must be exercised by the States, as such, as trustees of the power.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
