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.

Manila Investment Company v. Trammell No. 250 Motion to affirm or dismiss submitted October 12, 1915 Decided November 1, 1915 239 U.S. 31
APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
Syllabus
Mere breach of contract on the part of state officers does not amount to a taking of plaintiff’s property without due process of law in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Where the allegation of the bill relied on to give jurisdiction shows mere breach of contract on the part of state officers, the case does not present a real and substantial controversy involving the construction or effect. of the federal Constitution, and the district court does not have jurisdiction on that ground.
The facts, which involve the jurisdiction of the district court of the United States in cases involving constitutional questions, are stated in the opinion.
