Judge Harper's Opinion on State Sovereignty and Allegiance
The opinion discusses why a state constitution requires two legislatures and a public publish for eight months to amend, and the dangers of constitutional conventions. It analyzes oath requirements for public officers, allegiance, and the duty to obey state sovereignty versus federal authority, concluding that a convention cannot override sovereign safeguards and that officers must uphold the state's sovereign act while conflicts with U S law arise.
