principle of sovereign immunity was further disparaged in a brief essay
by Justice Miller on the subject of the rule of law, as follows: "Under
our system the _people_ * * * are sovereign. Their rights, whether
collective or individual, are not bound to give way to a sentiment of
loyalty to the person of a monarch. The citizen here knows no person,
however near to those in power, or however powerful himself, to whom he
need yield the rights which the law secures to him when it is well
administered. When he, in one of the courts of competent jurisdiction,
has established his right to property, there is no reason why deference
to any person, natural or artificial, not even the United States, should
prevent him from using the means which the law gives him for the
protection and enforcement of that right." Ibid. 208-209.
