by force of arms, exercised by an independent power which reduces the
vanquished to the submission of its empire.
2. It is a general rule, that where conquered countries have laws of
their own, these laws remain in force after the conquest, until they are
abrogated, unless they are contrary to our religion, or enact any malum in

not to be presumed that laws opposed to religion or sound morals could be
sanctioned. 1 Story, Const. Sec. 150, and the cases there cited.
