But the plaintiff protests against such decision, and she declares and maintains that said provisions of the Constitution and registration law of Missouri aforesaid, are in conflict with, and repugnant to the Constitution of the United States, which is paramount to State authority; and that they are especially in conflict with the following articles and clauses of said Constitution of the United States, to wit: Art. I. Sec. 9.--Which declares that no Bill of Attainder shall be passed. Art. I. Sec. 10.--No State shall pass any Bill of Attainder, or grant any title of nobility. Art. IV. Sec. 2.--The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States. Art. IV. Sec. 4.--The United States shall guarantee to every State a republican form of government. Art. VI.--This Constitution and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, shall be the supreme law of the land, anything in the Constitutions or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. AMENDMENTS. Art. V.--No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Art. IX.--The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Art. XIV. Sec. 1.--All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction, the equal protection of the laws. The plaintiff states, that by reason of the wrongful act of the defendant as aforesaid, she has been damaged in the sum of ten thousand dollars, for which she prays judgment. JOHN M.
