  • Columbia Law Review
    COLUMBIA LAW REVIEW VOL. 99 DECEMBER 1999 NO. 8 GLOBALISM AND THE CONSTITUTION: TREATIES, NON-SELF-EXECUTION, AND THE ORIGINAL UNDERSTANDING John C. Yoo* As the globalization of society and the economy accelerates, treaties will come to assume a significant role in the regulation of domestic affairs. This Article considers whether the Constitution, as originally understood, permits treaties to directly regulate the conduct of private parties without legislative implementation. It examines the relationship between the treaty power and the legislative power during the colonial, revolutionary, Framing, and early nationalperiods to reconstruct the Framers' understandings. It concludes that the Framers believed that treaties could not exercise domestic legislative power without the consent of Congress, because of the Constitution'screation of a nationallegislature that could independently execute treaty obligations. The Framers also anticipatedthat Congress's control over treaty implementa- tion through legislation would constitute an importantcheck on the executive branch'spower in foreign affairs.

  • The Brothers Low
    THE BROTHERS LOW Submitted by Sam McKenzie, April 2020 Sam McKenzie is a retired petrochemical engineer. He graduated from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, with a Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1966. After 33 years in the petrochemical industry he retired to Saratoga County NY and volunteered to perform historical research for the Brookside Museum starting in 2015. Sam can be reached at [email protected] Isaac Low Nicholas Low Isaac (1731-91) and Nicholas Low (1739-1826) were born in New Jersey, but spent their lives as successful businessmen and Manhattanites. Nevertheless, they had a significant influence upon the development of Saratoga County in the late 18th Century and particularly the founding of Ballston Spa. They were of Dutch stock. Consequently, they pronounced their surname to rhyme with Cow and not Snow. If unconvinced, please telephone the Historical Society of Lowville, NY (also founded by the Lows) and see how they answer. The brothers differed in their approach to politics. The powerful merchants of New York City apparently chose Isaac as a “safe pair of hands” into which they could entrust the chairmanship of five successive “Committees of Correspondence” between 1765 and 1775. These represented the city and coordinated with the other colonies in opposition to taxes imposed by the British Parliament. The British Crown saw them as highly illegal, as was the First Continental Congress which Isaac attended. Brother Nicholas seems to have been uninvolved in these matters. Unfortunately for Isaac, his political stance was founded on two incompatible principles, “no taxation without representation”, but also “my ambition is to live and die as a British subject”.

    HERALDIC DESCRIPTION ARMS: Or, a fesse dancettee between three cross-crosslets fitchee gules. CREST: A griffin segreant per fesse or and gules. MoITo: Probum non poenitet. DESCENDANTS OF JAMES SANDS OF BLOCK ISLAND With notes on the WALKER, HUTCHINSON, RAY, GUTHRIE, PALGRAVE, CORNELL, AYSCOUGH, MIDDAGH, HOLT, AND HENSHAW FAMILIES Compiled by MALCOLM SANDS WILSON Privately Printed New York • 1949 Copyright 1949 by Malcolm Sands Wilson 770 Park Avenue, New York 21, N. Y. All rights reserved PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA The William Byrd Press, Inc., Richmond, Virginia Foreword The purpose of this Genealogy of the Sands Family, which is the result of much research, is to put on record a more comprehensive account than any so far published in this country. The "Descent of Comfort Sands & of his Children," by Temple Prime, New York, 1886; and "The Direct Forefathers and All the Descendants of Richardson Sands, etc.," by Benjamin Aymar Sands, New York, 1916, (from both of which volumes I have obtained material) are excellent as far as they go, but their scope is very limited, as was the intention of their com­ pilers. I have not attempted to undertake a full and complete genealogy of this family, but have endeavored to fill certain lines and bring more nearly to date the data collected by the late Fanning C. T. Beck and the late LeBaron Willard, (brother-in-law of my aunt Caroline Sands Willard). I take this opportunity to express my thanks to all members of the family who have rendered cheerful and cooperative assistance. It had been my intention to have a Part II in this volume, in which the English Family of Sands, Sandes, Sandis or Sandys were to have been treated, and where the connecting link between James Sands of Block Island and his English forebears was to be made clear.

  • Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in New York
    Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in New York During the decade preceding the War for Independence, New York was divided into two large provincial factions—the Delanceys and the Livingstons. When independence neared, the Delanceys were in power and they remained loyal to the king. The opposition to British imperial policy consisted of three groups—the radical elements led by New York City mechanics who advocated independence from Great Britain, a very conservative group that wanted reconciliation, and another conservative group that wanted to delay independence but would not give up key colonial rights. Because conservatives controlled the third Provincial Congress, that body gave no instructions on the question of independence to New York’s delegates to the Second Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia. Not being instructed, the New York delegation, standing alone, did not vote on independence on 2 July 1776. Earlier, in response to the Continental Congress’ resolution of 15 May 1776, the third Provincial Congress had called on the electors in the different counties to elect a fourth provincial congress which might draft a constitution creating a state government. The election took place and the new Provincial Congress on 9 July resolved unanimously to join the other colonies in declaring independence. The next day it renamed itself the Provincial Convention. On 1 August the Convention appointed a committee of thirteen to draft a state constitution and to report by 26 August. The committee did not report until 12 March 1777. After almost six weeks of debate, the Convention on 20 April voted “in the name and by the authority of the good people of this State” to adopt the constitution.

  • Six Nations of Indians, Specifying Their Several Cessions and Reservations of Land, Etc
    IX NATIONS. [ CONCLUDED JULY 24, 1794. ] Contracts between the State of New York and different tribes of the Six Nations of Indians, specifying their several cessions and reservations of land, etc. On the 19th of April, 1793, George Clinton, governor of New ! York, transmitted to Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State of the United States, an exemplification of the different treaties entered into by that commonwealth with the Indians of the Six Nations, subsequent to the conclusion of the war of the American revolution. In his letter to Mr. Jefferson, Governor Clinton says, "I had written to the clerk of the city of Albany, and did not receive his answer until yesterday : he informs, as I suspected, that the superintendent of Indian affairs under the British government, was, at the commencement of the revolution, possessed of all the records and documents respecting Indian affpairs, and took them with him when he left the country.” SIX NATIONS OF NEW TORK. 41 The exemplification, thus transmitted, contains a transcript from the record book of Indian deeds, remaining in the office of the secretary of the State of New York, and, commencing in the year 1748. This transcript embraces, 1. A deed, executed by the sachems and chief warriors of the Oneida and Tuscarora nations, at a treaty held at fort Herkimer with George Clinton and other commissioners for Indian affairs for the State of New York, whereby the aforesaid sachems and chief warriors conveyed, on the 28th day of June, 1785, for the consideration of $11,500, in goods and money, "all that tract of land situate on the west side of the line commonly called the line of property, established at a treaty held at fort Stanwix in 1768, and on the north side of the Pennsylvania line, beginning at the mouth of the Unadilla, or Tianaderha river, where the same empties into the Susquehanna river ; thence up the said Unadilla, or Tianaderha river, ten miles measured on a straight line, thence due west to the Chenango river, thence southerly down the said Chenango river to where it empties into.
