- In episode 73 of Supreme Court Briefs, the Georgia government borrows money from a dude and never pays it back, which is kind of messed up. What results ultimately leads to the passing of the 11th Amendment and the first major Supreme Court decision in American history.

Chisholm v. Georgia is the first historically significant Supreme Court case...the first one that truly had big implications. Now, even though the 11th Amendment squashed this Supreme Court decision, Chisholm continued fighting to get his estate reimbursed for the rest of his life. After he died in 1810, Farquhar’s son-in-law Peter Trezevant kept the case alive on behalf of the estate. Finally, in November 1847, the Georgia General Assembly passed a bill to pay back the money owed to Farquhar’s estate. By that time, Trezevant was 79 years old and the family had been fighting to get their owed money for 58 years.

Reynolds v. United States
I actually agree with the Supreme Court on this one the 11th amendment needs to be amended the very idea that you can't sue a state without their consent is dumbest thing I've ever heard.
You can't even sue the federal government without its consent.
Chisholm can sue Georgia in federal court after the 14th amendment passed, which provides states' consent.
I go back and forth about sovereign immunity, as state governments already struggle with resources.
@@iammrbeat I personally think this is irrelevant if someone can prove that a state maliciously caused someone damages then they should be held responsible are you aware of this th-cam.com/video/bXE9i1Qk7q8/w-d-xo.html
While there needs to be a mechanism to keep states from being bogged down with frivolous lawsuits, I do think this would keep me from offering any loans or doing business with states without the payment being paid upfront.
I just love how Georgia didn’t give a crap about the entire case for a whole half century and just thought they would get away with not paying someone due to the federal government’s weakness.
Governments gonna government.
@@iammrbeat mr beast did you know the state of Pennsylvania almost went to war with the supreme court?
@@persoro4015 mr beast is too busy selling chocolate bars to care
I wonder why the right always wants a small, weak, limited government... 🤔
The Supreme Court: asking what the Founding Fathers intended ever since it was composed of Founding Fathers
lol that should have been the title of my book!
The fact that this was uploaded just days after the official book came out is so great
Indeed.
It's almost as if I planned it!
@@iammrbeat- Impossible!
@@iammrbeat Wow!
@iammrbeat you can take the teacher out of the classroom, but you can't take the classroom out of the teacher ❤
You could technically add the Pollock (1895) case on the list of "cases overruled by constitutional amendment". It ruled that the federal income tax was unconstitutional, then the 16th amendment overruled that case.
There's also the failed child labor amendment
Repeal the 16th!
@@devingraves8044lol i bet he’s gonna say “taxation is theft”, watch
@@yeezuschrist420 TAXATION IS THEFT
Judiciary Act of 1789, where have I heard that before...? Oh yes:
"Mr Beat Presents, Supreme Court Briefs: Marbury vs Madison,"
It's all linking together nicely :)
And now I have a book of cases to turn into videos!
@@iammrbeat it's a very far cry from one video you made where you said that they weren't doing as well as the other videos. How things have changed :)
This case involved an estate the original powered sued for payment of services, that the fed failed to honor their debts. Owner passed then executor filed claim, executor became older ,1 otherperson?I believe 1,000,000 was paid to whpm,oh Georgia? Confused,.😊
Dynamex2016,18? Ruling Vicarious liability, cant,find it codified,can you help me with this1,
I wonder if they accounted for 70 years' worth of inflation when they finally paid the money back.
Supreme Court Briefs is my favorite series of yours.
Always love how you cover these. Thanks Mr. Beat!
Always love how you cover these. Thanks Mr. Beat!. Mr. Beat, your videos are awesome..
Congratulations on your new book about the Supreme Court, Mr. Beat!
Thanks buddy
@@iammrbeat No problem!
@@iammrbeat your cool Mr.Beat in my spare time even if I am in school I watch your videos when I can I love history
Farquar indeed was not from Georgia. He was from far far away land.
My god, you could not have screwed that reference up more.
lol good film...also, he was from a far far way land called....
South Carolina
Mr beat, this is great. I would like to see more like this in the future
Right on
This case is very much underrated cases it’s not really taught in schools that much or even mentioned. Most of the time the schools just ignored everything that happened prior to the first President of the United States or Marbury vs Madison and don’t fill in the gaps of things that happen before that. After we won the revolutionary war.
You are 100% correct.
Ever since I took APGOV I’ve been loving these SCOTUS videos even more, thx Mr. Beat
I just bought your supreme court book! I'm looking forward to reading it and learning a bit about the most important cases
I have waited for soo long for this case.
Yeah it has been on my list for at least 5 years.
My wife is a library director here in Iowa, and she'll be ordering your book for her library!
Hi Mr. Beat, I’ve been a fan of your videos (and presidential songs) since I was in middle school. Your content has inspired me to major in American history in college. I was wondering if you would consider making a video on the Iroquois Confederacy at a certain point? Also congratulations on 800k subscribers.
I LOVE YOU MR BEAT!!!!❤
I bought your Supreme Court book and it’s coming on Monday! I can’t wait to read it
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I LOVE THE SCOTUS BREIFS KEEP THEM COMING !
Right on. Thanks for the encouragement!
Always great choices for the Supreme Court Briefs videos! I am sure you have a list you want to go through, but I would love to see Reed v Reed. To anyone who doesn't know, it was the first case where the courts found that the 14th amendment's equal protection clause could be construed to apply to sex (in this case an Idaho law granting favorability of estate management to male children, which failed to even pass a rational-basis test for the courts).
I'm glad this was covered!
Mr. Beat, your videos are awesome.
Thank you so much!
I would love to see you cover the case of Massachusetts v. EPA where the court stated that States can sue the EPA for failing to regulate greenhouse gases.
🎉🎉🎉Congragulations🎉🎉🎉
But I have to ask, how do you work on so many projects at once? The Beat Goes On, main channel, teaching, and books?!?! How do you organize your time to do all that efficiently and effectively?!?!?!
All the best.
Someone remind me to watch this in three hours!
I think it's been 3 hours. Please watch. :)
@@iammrbeat tysm 🙏
Got your book on Tuesday Mr Beat, can't wait to start this weekend [wish it had a sturdier spine tho, my Howard Zinn is in tatters after I got thru with it ha]
Congrats on the book, im wondering if future briefs videos will be based on cases covered in the book.
Thank you, and you bet they will be. The scripts are already mostly written. :)
Excellent as always mr beat!
Thank you Patrick!
Dude I didnt know you had a book! That's so cool
Hey Mr Beat. I loved many of your vids on favourite things of presidents, their successes & failures, their children, etc...
I was thinking could you do one on every President's parents??
Hey Mr. Beat;
Can you do a video where you cover every state's most famous historical event that took place on that state?
Thanks
I had legitimately no idea that Farquhar is a real last name. I have brain rot.
I like learning about the history which led to a constitutional amendment. Keep it up!
Damn - Georgia sure messed up. I’m glad the family kept after the state for the money they were owed.
Because of Hamilton I know that Nathaniel Pendleton was Alexander Hamilton’s second in the duel with Aaron Burr in which Hamilton died!
Indeed he was!
Mr beat you should do a supreme court brief on Grutter v Bollinger because of the upcoming case on Affirmative Action
I’m a big fan of your videos and I bought both of your books
You did it. You finally found something where I side with the guy from South Carolina.
Just bought the book and am going through the videos in the books order (chronological)
You should compare the Idaho, Oklahoma, & Florida Panhandles
Not being able to sue state governments without the state governments permission about the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Amend the 11th amendment. Actual trash law.
What's funny is that the Feds can and do waiver their immunity from time to time. So, there's that.🤷♂️
Mr. Beat, could you please make a video on the history of Affirmative Action since the Supreme Court ruling struck it down very recently?
Thank you.
Thank YOU
this case reminds me of the case of Jandyce V. Jandyce from Dickens Bleak House
Interesting...I haven't read much Dickens tbh
@@iammrbeatJarndyce v Jarndyce is a family inheritance lawsuit that had gone for so many generations that nobody could remember what the original suit was about. Dickens was a master of social and political satire.
Great video.
Hello mr beat i would like to give you a video idea the video should be you comparing manitoba and ontario
3:40 The Supreme Court resided in the Old City Hall Building (1791 to 1800), not Independence Hall which the City Hall’s located next to the East Wing of Independence Hall
Hey Mr Beat, have you thought about doing briefs landmark EU Supreme Court cases? The EU has existed long enough now that the time might be right for someone to take a look at some important cases, and you could use the same format
I bought ya book. It's also insane how they didn't get payed till 58 years later.
Thanks for buying it!
So you should never sell goods or provide services to the State of Georgia or anybody who lives in Georgia.
Hello!
I love watching ur videos
Hello!
Thanks for watching them!
Sorry, Mr. Beat, you had Wilson and Iredell's pictures mixed up at 7:22.
Do a brief on the Dobbs Decision
Hi, Mr. Beat. How about you do another Supreme Court Briefs video on FCC v. Prometheus Radio Project? Pretty please?
And people still complain about how slow the government is…
The moral of the story is never loan anything to Georgia.
or any other state
Mr. Beat, I have a few requests for future Supreme Court Briefs videos you should cover.
Requests:
United States v. Paramount Pictures
FCC v. AT&T
FCC v. Fox Television Stations (2009)
FCC v. Fox Television (2012)
What do you think?
Mr Beat can you compare Dallas and Fort Worth?
You should compare Minneapolis & Saint Paul
❤, beat
Good video, I would like to see a court case during the Industrial Revolution, if you have the time?
@@LoneWolfsercurity Sorry, but what does that mean?
Glad the family ended up getting the money they owed though in the end even if it took about 3 generations later. Just because the 11th amendment was put in place does not change the decision of the Supreme Court is that was decided before the 11th amendment.
That is the strongest determination I have ever seen
To cover every Supreme Court case?
@@iammrbeat no I talking about the family members to fought the state for almost 60 years
Talk about dragging heels so you didn’t have to pay someone
Yep, and as far as I can tell, the family didn't get interest!
5:35 TBH The Income Tax amendment came after the SCOTUS said it was unconstitutional.
It should be known that Iredell’s dissent was twenty pages long. He only spent a few sentences saying that states could not be sued… and this is dicta because his opinion rests on an interpretation of the Judiciary Act, I believe. So the fact that Hans v. Louisiana took the case as representing the idea that states carried sovereign immunity from the colonial era is silly.
You confused Justice Wilson's portrait with Justice Iredell's portrait in the district court case. That made the video confusing.
You use a picture of James Wilson for James Iredell.
President During this time: George Washington
Chief Justice: John Jay
Argued February 5, 1793
Decided February 18, 1793
Case Duration: 13 Days
Decision 4 -1in favor of Chisholm
I've never understood the 11th amendment. And i still don't. People sue states and the federal government all the time. Or is there some type of legal semantics I'm not understanding?
Yes, because while one can't sue the state, their organs are another matter. Plus the feds waiver at times a state's sovereign immunity for some things.
@@OpinionesDeJACCsOpinions ok. Thanks
Are you gonna make a video about COINTELPRO?
Good video
Hey, uhh... for the part at 2:04, you have James Wilson's picture instead of James Iredell. Otherwise great video!
That’s not a picture of Iredell, it’s James Wilson
Did they pay the estate back with interest included?
Wierd seing a case without judicial reivew existing
Idea for next video- MBTI type of each US president
John Jay is such a G
Wasn't the 16th Amendment also passed in response to a Supreme Court case?
The Pollock decision? Yeah, I probably should have mentioned that, too.
So was this case prior to Marbury v. Madison? That's what I think of as the first important supreme court case.
Yes it is older then Marbury v Madison the case was in 1793 while Madison case was in 1803 full 10 years apart. George Washington was president at the time
Mr Beat!
Juelzbrown!
Can you please cover the dobbs case?
I plan on it eventually. I do go over it in the book!
@@iammrbeat Thanks mr beat, I’ll give it a shot. I went to your videos a lot during high school. Now I’ve graduated!
Why should anybody do business with any state if they can just cheat you like that?
The map should only show the 13 states ,not the present country .
did they adjust for inflation?
Mr. Beat, you mentionned that justice Wilson wrote for the majority, but at that time, weren’t opinions in seriatim, meaning no justice wrote for the majority?Each justice wrote an opinion and the judgment of each decided the judgment of the case.
You are correct. I just kept the format the same as in my other SCOTUS videos for the sake of simplicity.
YAY!! More 18th Century cases!!
The only other time I've heard the name "fuharquar" is in a title of a progressive country bluegrass band.
What was the first SCOTUS case overall?
Van Staphorst v. Maryland
The 14th Amendment overturned two Supreme Court decisions, Dred Scot ,and Barron v Baltimore. The privileges and immunities clause was intended to make the protections of the Constitution enforceable against State law. Although gutted by the Slaughterhouse Cases, the Bill of Rights is mostly currently enforced as a right through the Due Process clause.
True, but the folks who drafted and argued for the 14th mostly had Dred Scott in mind.
@@iammrbeat It was also intended to overturn the Black Codes, as per Akhil Amar, The Bill of Rights. The book goes into the legislative history of the Amendment.
@@tomhalla426
The black codes? They were done after the fact not before.
I got your merch🥰
Woah thank you!
@@iammrbeat your welcome 😊
Did dude say we're sovereign citizens?🤔
5:42 Didn't the states also pass the 16th amendment in response to a Supreme Court decision?
Congress passed then the states ratified.
Supreme Court Justice's need voted in. Similar to how the president USED to be.
It's passed time to fight
Waiting for the history of weezer video on the beat goes on channel
But they are still releasing great new stuff! I want to wait.
Make a video on presidental assassination attempts
