General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

McCaughey v. Lyall No. 228 Submitted April 19, 1912 Decided May 13, 1912 224 U.S. 558
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Syllabus
Section 1582 of the Code of Civil Procedure of California, as construed by the supreme court of that state, is not unconstitutional as denying due process of law to an heir of a mortgagor because it permits foreclosure against the administrator without making the heir a party to the suit.
The legislative power of the state is the source of the rights in real estate and remedies in regard thereto.
The highest court of the state can construe the laws of that state so as to make of them a consistent system of jurisprudence accommodating the rights and the remedies dealt with by the legislature.
152 Cal. 615, affirmed.
The facts, which involve the constitutionality under the due process clause of the Constitution of a statute of California, are stated in the opinion.
