Senate debate highlights Supreme Court power over territories
In Washington on December 2, Judge Trumbull quotes from Peters Reports to argue that Congress has broad territorial powers equal to a state legislature. He cites the American Insurance Company v. Canter and insists the Supreme Court affirmed Congress could regulate territories with powers resembling those of states, challenging Gen. Cass’s stance on the Missouri Compromise. The exchange underscores partisan tension over constitutional authority on slavery in new lands.
