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.

Ong Chang Wing v. United States No. 418 Argued October 21, 1910 Decided November 7, 1910 218 U.S. 272
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Syllabus
As applied to criminal procedure, if the accused has been heard in a court of competent jurisdiction and proceeded against under the orderly processes of law, and only punished after inquiry and investigation on notice with opportunity to be heard, and judgment awarded within the authority of a constitutional law, he has not been denied due process of law.
The lawmaking power in the Philippine Islands has power to preserve by statutory enactment the right to prosecute and punish offenses committed prior to the repeal of an act defining and punishing the offense, and a decision of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands holding that one who committed the offense before the repeal of the act can be punished after the repeal does not amount to a denial of due process of law within the meaning of the due process clause of the Act of July 1, 1902.
The facts, which involve the validity of a conviction in the Philippine Islands and the construction of the Act of July 1, 1902, are stated in the opinion.
