And while it was further urged in this Court that the decrees of the courts below in themselves deprived the defendants of their liberty and property without due process of law, in violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, this contention likewise cannot serve as a jurisdictional basis for the appeal. The Court ruled this as an unconstitutional delegation of power. The most cursory examination of the Supreme Court's decision in Corrigan v.

Maine According to the Encyclopedia of the American Constitution, about its article titled 275 CORRIGAN v. BUCKLEY 271 U.S. 323 (1926) Reviewing a restrictive covenant case from the district of columbia, the Supreme Court unanimously held that it presented no substantial constitutional question. The defendant Corrigan moved to dismiss the bill on the grounds that the "indenture or covenant made the basis of said bill" is (1) "void in that the same is contrary to and in violation of the Constitution of the United States," and (2) "is void in that the same is contrary to public policy."

Under the pleadings in the present case the only constitutional question involved was that arising under the assertions in the motions to dismiss that the indenture or covenant which is the basis of the hill, is "void" in that it is contrary to and forbidden by the Fifth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments.

The defendant Corrigan moved to dismiss the bill on the grounds that the 'indenture or covenant made the basis of said bill' is (1) 'void in that the same is contrary to and in violation of the Constitution of the United States,' and (2) 'is void in that the same is contrary to public policy.'

And plainly, the claim urged in this Court that they were to be looked to, in connection with the provisions of the Revised Statutes and the decisions of the courts, in determining the contention, earnestly pressed, that the indenture is void as being 'against public policy,' does not involve a constitutional question within the meaning of the Code provision.
