2967 Excerpt from Downes v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244,
249-251, 45 L.Ed. 1088, 1092 (1901)
Two "Extension Statutes" are mentioned in Downes
v. Bidwell:
"It may be added in this connection, that to put at
rest all doubts regarding the applicability of the Constitution to the
District of Columbia, Congress by the
act of February 21, 1871 (16 Stat. at L. 419, 426, chap. 62,
34), specifically extended the Constitution and laws of the United States
to this District."
See: 16
Stat. 426
"Finally, in Rev. Stat. 1891, a general provision was
enacted that 'the Constitution and all laws of the United States which
are not locally inapplicable
shall have the same force and effect within all the
organized territories, and in every territory hereafter organized, as
elsewhere within the United States.'"
See: R.S.
Sec. 1891 and R.S.
Sec. 1891; latter R.S. Sec. 1891 was repealed at 47 Stat. 1429 (March 3, 1933);
see also Notes
under 48
U.S.C. 1490.
