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.

Clark v. Kansas City No. 492 Argued December 18, 1898 Decided January 8. 1899 172 U.S. 334
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF KANSAS
Syllabus
As the laws of Kansas permit an amendment of the plaintiffs’ pleadings in the court below after the overruling by the supreme court of a demurrer to them, and as the supreme court of the state, in deciding this case, did not take that right away, it follows that the judgment of the state court was not final, and that this case must be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
The case is stated in the opinion.
