Why did anybody care?
Is there any record of why Congress actually gave a damn whether US citizens received titles of nobility from other nations? 75.76.213.106 (talk) 05:00, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- Basically, there was concern that other countries would use titles of nobility to gain influence in the United States. SMP0328. (talk) 21:10, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Better explanation and citation needed
the first example under theories doesn't make sense it doesn't state his argument or where he came up with it --209.181.16.93 (talk) 22:19, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- The entire point of the citation is that the claim was raised in a court of law, and that court dismissed it on the basis that the TONA was never ratified. The reason for which it was brought up was irrelevant (although it was probably something along the lines of the next case). bd2412 T 03:35, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- BD2412 is right. The point of that citation is to show that courts have universally rejected the proposition that the TONA was adopted. SMP0328. (talk) 03:55, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- why is always important --69.146.158.34 (talk) 01:18, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
- "Why" is important about what? Why the plaintiff brought the suit? Or something else? In your first post, whose argument are you asking about (i.e., who is "he")? Please explain your objections more clearly. — Mateo SA (talk | contribs) 01:39, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
