Forms: Trouble with Texas?
Forms: Trouble with Texas?
This chapter explores American acquisitions through 1846, along with the acquisition of the Guano Islands in the latter part of the nineteenth century, and aims to flesh out the appropriate forms of acquisition. A treaty is an appropriate mechanism for acquisitions as long as the acquisition implements a constitutionally mandated power, such as the power to admit new states. The chapter goes on to explore whether it is possible for an acquisition by statute and by discovery.
