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.

Gasquet v. LaPeyre No. 116 Argued November 16, 1916 Decided January 8, 1917 242 U.S. 367
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA
Syllabus
The provision in § 9 of Article I of the Constitution guaranteeing the privilege of habeas corpus is not a limitation upon state action.
A decision of a state supreme court involving only the construction of the state constitution and statutes respecting the jurisdiction of state courts can raise no question under the due process or equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.
To invoke the full faith and credit clause and the act of Congress passed to carry it into effect, Article IV, § 1, Rev.Stats., § 905, on behalf of a judgment of one state in a court of another, it is necessary by allegation or proof or in some other recognized mode, to bring to the attention of that court the law or usage which defines the effect of the judgment in the state of its rendition.
Assignments of error contrary to the foregoing propositions are frivolous.
Writ of error to review 136 La. 957 dismissed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
