[4CJ]

'It has already been observed, that the constitution of the United States guarantees to each state a republican form of government; that the powers not delegated to the United States, are reserved to the states respectively without entering into a detail of the rights reserved or not delegated, suffice it to say, that "the right of acquiring, possessing and protecting property is one.'

Pennsylvania again, 3 Feb 1810.

[Non-Sequitur]

'It has already been observed, that the constitution of the United States guarantees to each state a republican form of government; that the powers not delegated to the United States, are reserved to the states respectively without entering into a detail of the rights reserved or not delegated, suffice it to say, that "the right of acquiring, possessing and protecting property is one.'

But the Constitution of the United States says that only Congress may dispose of federal property. So states cannot acquire federal property without congressional approval.
