^ Ganshof 151 note 23 and passim; the essential point was made again, and the documents on which the historian's view of vassalage are based were reviewed, with translation and commentary, by Elizabeth Magnou-Nortier, Foi et Fidélité.

^ The Tours formulary, which a mutual contract of rural patronage, offered parallels; it was probably derived from Late Anrique Gallo-Roman precedents, according to Magnou-Nortier 1975.

"The Nature of the Power to Take Private Property The power of governments to take private real or personal property has always existed in the United States, being an inherent attribute of sovereignty. This power reposes in the legislative branch of the government and may not be exercised unless the legislature has authorized its use by statutes that specify who may use it and for what purposes."
