	Federal Territory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Federal Territory (Malay: Wilayah Persekutuan) is a collective of three territories, namely Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan, governed directly by the federal government of Malaysia.
		As of 2006, all the territories fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Federal Territories, which was formed under Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's administration on March 27, 2004.
		Kuala Lumpur was ceded by the state of Selangor to the federal government on February 1, 1974, while Putrajaya became the third federal territory on February 1, 2001.

	Federation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states are typically constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision of the central government.
		In its foundation, it is federal, not national; in the sources from which the ordinary powers of the Government are drawn, it is partly federal, and partly national...." This paradox stems from the fact that states in a federation maintain all sovereignty that they do not yield to the federation by their own consent.
		A federal upper house may be based on a special scheme of apportionment, as is the case in the senates of the United States and Australia, where each state is represented by an equal number of senators irrespective of the size of its population.

	Dred Scott Case - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		Taney also declared that Congress lacked the power to prohibit slavery in federal territories, a ruling that invalidated the part of the Missouri Compromise that banned slavery in the western territories.
		Under the compromise Missouri entered the Union as a slave state, Maine was split off from Massachusetts and entered the Union as a free state, and slavery was prohibited in all the federal territories north of the 36°30’ latitude, the southern boundary of Missouri.
		The Court’s decision in the case was made in the context of the opening of western territories to slavery, the violence of the Border War, and the creation of a new political party dedicated to stopping the spread of slavery into the West.

	MBA: Federal Court System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Federal judges have the power to order state officials to take actions the federal courts deem mandated by the federal constitution, for example requiring school desegregation, ordering modifications in apportionment of state legislatures or supervising state mental health institutions.
		Most federal criminal cases are begun when a grand jury (consisting of 16 to 23 persons), meeting in a nonpublic session without a judge present, determines that the United States attorney has presented enough evidence to justify charging that a crime has been committed.
		In recent years Massachusetts federal district judges have overseen school desegregation in Boston, hiring practices of police and fire departments, the conditions in county jails, the quality of state institutions for the mentally handicapped and the cleanup of Boston Harbor.

		However, while the "territorial" Court has jurisdiction, the only question which may be decided is the nature of the aboriginal rights claimed and whether they may form the basis for a caveat.
