TERRITORY
(bouvier) | TERRITORY. Apart of a country, separated from the rest, and subject to a
particular jurisdiction. The word is derived from terreo, and is so called
because the magistrate within his jurisdiction has the power of inspiring a
salutary fear. Dictum cat ab eo quod magistratus intra fines ejus terrendi
jus habet. Henrion de Pansy, Auth. Judiciare, 98. In speaking of the
ecclesiastical jurisdictions, Francis Duaren observes, that the
ecclesiastics are said not to have territory, nor the power of arrest or
removal, and are not unlike the Roman magistrates of whom Gellius says
vocationem habebant non prehensionem. De Sacris Eccl. Minist. lib. 1, cap.
4. In the sense it is used in the constitution of the United States, it
signifies a portion of the country subject to and belonging to the United
States, which is not within the boundary of any of them.
2. The constitution of the United States, art. 4, s. 3, provides, that
"the congress shall have power to dispose of, and make all needful rules and
regulations respecting the territory or other property of the United States;
and nothing in this constitution shall be construed, so as to preclude the
claims of the United States or of any state."
3. Congress possesses the power to erect territorial governments within
the territory of the United States; the power of congress over such
territory is exclusive and universal, and their legislation is subject to no
control, unless in the case of ceded territory, as far as it may be affected
by stipulations in the cessions, or by the ordinance of 1787, 3 Story's L.
U. S. 2073, under which any part of it has been settled. Story on the Const.
Sec. 1322; Rawle on the Const: 237; 1 Kent's Com. 243, 359; 1 Pet. S. C.
Rep. 511, 542, 517.
4. The only organized territories of the United States are Oregon,
