Dillon v. Gloss

Syllabus

Dillon v. Gloss, 256 U.S. 368 (1921), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that if the United States Congress—when proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States—desires to place a deadline on that particular constitutional amendment's ratification, that Congress may indeed do precisely that and further that Congress' selection of a seven-year time constraint upon the ratification of what later became the Constitution's 18th Amendment was not deemed to be unreasonable by the Court.
