did not reenact the requirements of the act of 1911 and that it was
therefore unnecessary to determine whether the questions raised were
justiciable.

Minnesota legislature redistricting the State required the governor's
signature, and that representatives should be chosen at large until a
redistricting was passed.

Correspondence and Public Papers of John Jay (1890-1893), (edited by
Henry Phelps Johnston), 486. According to E.F. Albertsworth, Advisory
Functions in Federal Supreme Court, 23 Georgetown L.J., 643, 644-647
(May 1935), the Court rendered an advisory opinion to President Monroe
in response to a request for legal advice on the power of the Government
to appropriate federal funds for public improvements by responding that
Congress might do so under the war and postal powers. The inhibitions of
the Court against advisory opinions do not prevent the individual
Justices from giving advice or aiding the political departments in their
private capacities. Ever since Chief Justice Jay went on a mission to
England to negotiate a treaty the members of the Court have performed
various nonjudicial functions. John Marshall served simultaneously as
Secretary of State and Chief Justice, and later Justice Robert Jackson
served as war crimes prosecutor.
