Excerpt from Argument of Sam C. Reid, Jr., Before the Court of Claims, in the Case of Private Armed Brig.-Of-War General Armstrong, on a Rehearing, January 27, 1857
But to establish beyond all doubt the intention of Congress to give to this court jurisdiction of the highest equity, the concluding part of the sentence, and, also, all claims which may be referred to said court by either house of Congress, makes it the duty of this court to entertain any character of claim that Congress may please to send to it for investigation. Again: this section declares, it shall be the duty of the claimant, in all cases, to set forth a full statement of the claim, and of the action thereon in Congress, or by any of the departments, if such action has been had. N ow, I ask why Congress imposed on the claimant this imperative duty, if it had not for it some special object? That object is free from ambiguity, and is apparent and patent. It intended that the proceedings of Congress on any claim should fully appear while it determined, at the same time, that the action had by any of'the executive departments upon a claim should be fully set forth, in order that if there was error committed the court should take cognizance of it, and make the government responsible by granting relief.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an analysis of the powers of the United States Court of Claims, and its powers of jurisdiction within the American legal framework. The author, a legal professional, argues, through the examination of a real legal case, that the court has broad and almost unlimited jurisdiction, including the right to adjudicate complex issues of international law. The author also argues that the US Government has an implied contractual obligation to protect and indemnify its citizens, which extends to the right to legal representation, and in the event of foreign governments' failure to comply, the government is liable to compensate the aggrieved party. The book provides an in-depth and coherent examination of complex legal issues, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in American jurisprudence, constitutional law, or international law.
