Martin v. Massachusetts : ウィキペディア英語版 | Martin v. Massachusetts
Martin v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts (1 Mass. Reports 348) was an 1805 legal case decided by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, presided over by Francis Dana. It was influential in setting a legal precedent that US married women did not have separate formal political citizenship from their husbands. == Facts of the Case == James Martin was the son of William Martin and Anna Gordon Martin, Loyalists who had fled Massachusetts during the political turmoil of the American Revolution. Anna Gordon Martin had brought significant amounts of real estate into her marriage; through a complicated set of legal arrangements, her husband William had only a life interest in the property. Because the Martins, like other Loyalists, had fled Massachusetts, the post-revolutionary government of Massachusetts had confiscated Anna Gordon Martin's land as state property. James Martin, as the couple's adult son, argued that his mother had been required to choose between following her husband (as the marital law of coverture required) or staying in Massachusetts (and keeping her land). He argued that his mother had not meant to forfeit her land and that he should be able to claim it back from the state.
