Judge Minor rules that provisions granting raid powers to the ranger conflict with Article V and IV on electing judges sheriffs and constables and with Article II separating government powers. The governor’s role is limited to executing laws, not direct enforcement through courts and police, and the militia must act under judicial and sheriff authority. The case critiques the separation of powers and governance structure under the constitution.
