"Respecting the original justice of the claim": reality and legality in John Marshall's epic of Indian divestiture, «Johnson v. M'Intosh»
Bibliographic record
Abstract
William M'Intosh (1823) in light of the fictional history he employed in justifying the decision of the Court.I work from Hannah Arendt's conceptions of myth and legend as corrective of history, and conclude in line with Milner S. Ball that the legal transcription of custom into statute finds a natural corollary in the poetic license exercised by forging precedence from obiter dicta.In my examination, I treat law as literature insofar as it allows one to elucidate the elements of Johnson v.M'Intosh that are amorally imperial in nature, and on which America is founded.While legend and law can be formally quite similar, I argue that racist, ethnocentric decisions like Johnson v. M'Intosh demonstrate that if we desire for our laws to endure as the paramount social embodiment of justice, it is essential that the forms of law and legend remain disparate.As I conclude, the violence done Indian tribes by the statutory institution of Marshall's mythical opinion as authoritative, "true" history is unforgivable and irreparable.Cette thse examine l'opinion du prsident de la Cour suprme des Etats-Unis, John Marshall, sur l'arrt Johnson and Graham's Lessee v. William M'Intosh (1823), au regard de l'histoire fictionnelle qu'il employait pour justifier la dcision de la Cour.Cette thse tudie la conception d'Hannah Arendt du mythe et de la lgende comme correctif de l'Histoire, et conclut, en accord avec Milner S. Ball, que la transcription lgale de la coutume en loi trouve un corollaire naturel dans la licence potique exerce dans la construction de la prsance de l'obiter dicta.Puisque pope et loi peuvent tre formellement similaires, je soutiens que des dcisions racistes et ethnocentriques telles que Johnson v. M'Intosh dmontrent que si nous dsirons que nos lois restent l'incarnation sociale prdominante de justice, il est essentiel que les textes de lois et l'pope restent distincts.Comme je conclus, la violence faite aux tribues indiennes par l'institution, par Marshall, de l'pope comme faisant autorit car officielle, "vraie" Histoire, est impardonnable et irrparable.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
