	United States - Punishment and Prejudice: Racial Disparities in the War on Drugs
		In at least fifteen states, fl men are admitted to prison on drug charges at rates that are from 20 to 57 times greater than those of white men.
		We have focused on the imprisonment of drug offenders at the state level because aggregate national data masks the remarkable differences among the states regarding the degree to which they put drug offenders in prison and the extent to which the use of prison as a penal sanction for drug offfenders is racially disproportionate.
		It is deeply troubling that in the United States the political majority has maintained criminal justice policies that so disproportionately burden a racial minority, particularly when those policies coupled with felony disenfranchisement laws further politically weaken that minority.

	United States House of Representatives - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United States House of Representatives is one of the two houses of the Congress of the United States, the other being the Senate.
		Each state is represented in the House proportional to its population, with the proviso that each state is entitled to at least one Representative member.
		The bicameral Congress arose from the desire of the Founding Fathers to create a "house of the people" that would closely resemble and follow public opinion, and a more deliberative, learned and reserved Senate which would be less susceptible to the frenzies of mass sentiment.

	Chae Chan Ping v. United States
		So far as a treaty made by the United States with any foreign power cat become the subject of judicial cognizance in the courts of this country, it is subject to such acts as Congress may pass for its enforcement, modification or appeal.
		But the United States, while a sovereign government, is yet one which can exercise only those powers of sovereignty which are enumerated in and delegated by the instrument which created it, and such other incidental powers as are necessary and proper in order to carry into execution those thus enumerated.
		Fish, secretary of state under President Grant, uses this language: 'The control of the people within its limits, and the right to expel from its territory persons who are dangerous to the peace of the state, are too clearly within the essential attributes of sovereignty to be seriously contested.

	THE ORDER OF MALTA, SOVEREIGNTY, AND INTERNATIONAL LAW
		In continuing recognition of the governments-in-exile, a position followed not only by Great Britain and the United States but by many other States which had accredited representatives to the occupied countries before 1939, their lack of territory, population, and jurisdiction was not considered any impediment to recognition.
		A Sovereign State has "the fundamental right to demand that other States treat it on a perpetually equal footing."[38] This must be so even if it may appear that their Sovereignty is limited in a way which classic definitions of Sovereignty would consider sufficient to impeach their claims to Sovereignty or independent status.
		That this was accepted by the other member States in practice as a matter of political expediency,[40] to insure Soviet co-operation, does not negate the fact that the other members of the United Nations, in accordance with the Charter, treated these two States as equals.
