Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Opinion of the Attorney General Concerning the Judicial Authority of the Commissioner or Minister of Consuls of the United States in China and Turkey It is, avowedly, based on the two treaties in question, and especially that with China, and is to be construed in subordination to that, and to the constitution. In substance, it accepts and gives actual form to those stipulations of treaty, which confer on all citizens of the United States the rights of exterritoriality in China and Turkey. The legal rationale of the treaty stipulations as to China, with which we are now chiefly concerned, and their relation to the legislative authority of the United States, are explained in the following despatch of the minister who negotiated the treaty: "I entered China with the formed general conviction that the United States ought not to concede to any foreign state, under any circumstances, jurisdiction over the life and liberty of a citizen of the United States, unless that foreign state be of our own family of nations, - in a word, a Christian state. "The states of Christendom are bound together by treaties, which confer mutual rights and prescribe reciprocal obligations. They acknowledge the authority of certain maxims and usages, received among them by common consent, and called the law of nations; but which, not being fully acknowledged and observed by the Mohammedan or Pagan states, which occupy the greater part of the globe, is, in fact, only the international law of Christendom.
