I read again from Pomeroy. page 29: This nation possesses political sovereignty. It may have any organization from the pourest democracy to the most absolute monarchy but considered in its relation to the rest of mankind and to its own individual members it must exist. to the extent at least of enacting laws for Itself. as an integral. independent. sovereign society among the other similar nations of the earth. I want to read a word from the Chinese exclusion case (130 U. S.. pages 603. 604. and 605). the opinion by Justice Field: Jurisdiction over its own territory to that extent is an incident of every independent nation. It is a part of its independence.
