Missouri v. Holland - definition of Missouri v. Holland in Encyclopedia (273 words)
Holland, 252 U.S.) was a case in which the United States Supreme Court found that the federal government's ability to make treaties is supreme over any state concerns about such treaties having potentially abrogated any states' rights arising under the Tenth Amendment.
Congress had previously passed laws regulating the hunting of migratory waterfowl on the basis that such birds naturally migrated across state and international borders freely and hence the regulation of the harvest of such birds could not realistically be considered to be province solely of indidivual states or groups of states.
The State of Missouri sued on the basis that the federal government had no authority to negotiate a treaty on this topic.
