In a set of cases decided at the end of the 19th century, the Supreme Court declared that Congress had “plenary power†to regulate immigration, Indian tribes, and new territories. Attuned to the demands of a new century, the author argues for abandonment of the plenary power cases, and for more flexible conceptions of sovereignty and citizenship.
