No. 837. authorize Congress or the states to defeat or "" The words "concurrent power," in Const. Amend. 18, § 2, giving concurrent power to Congress and the states to enforce that amendment, do not mean a joint power or require that legislation thereunder by Congress to be effective, shall be approved or sanctioned by the several states, or any of them. 9. INTOXICATING LIQUORS 13-POWER OF CONGRESS NOT LIMITED ΤΟ INTERSTATE TRANSACTIONS. Const. Amend. 18, § 2, does not divide the power to enforce such amendment between Congress and the states along lines which separate or distinguish foreign and interstate commerce from intrastate affairs, but confides to Congress power territorially coextensive with the prohibition of the first section and embracing manufacture and other intrastate transactions as well as importation, exportation, and interstate traffic. (Decided June 7, 1920.) 1. CONSTITUTIONAL LAW 10-RESOLUTION PROPOSING AMENDMENT NEED NOT CONTAIN A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution need not contain an express declaration that those voting for it regard it as essential; its adoption sufficiently showing that they deem it necessary. 2.

[Ed. Note. For other definitions, see Words and Phrases, First and Second Series, TwoThirds Vote.] 3. CONSTITUTIONAL LAW 10-REFERENDUM PROVISIONS CANNOT BE APPLIED TO ADOP- The referendum provisions of state Constitutions and statutes cannot be applied, consistently with the Constitution of the United States, in the ratification or rejection of amendments to that Constitution. Const. Amend. 18, § 1, prohibiting the manufacture, sale, etc., of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes, is operative throughout the entire territorial limits of the United States and of its own force invalidates every legislative act of Congress, state Legislatures, or territorial assemblies, authorizing or sanctioning what it prohibits. 10. INTOXICATING LIQUORS 13-POWER OF CONGRESS NOT DEPENDENT ON ACTION OF THE STATES. The power conferred on Congress by Const. Amend. 18, § 2, to enforce the prohibition contained in section 1, is in no wise dependent on, or affected by, action or inaction on the part of the states, or any of them. 11.
