Opinion of the Justices

The House of Representatives propounded the following question to the Justices of the Supreme Court:

“(1) Can the House of Representatives pass a revenue measure the force and effect of which will depend on the passage by the people of the State of Alabama of a general obligation bond measure?”

The Justices declined to answer because of the hypothetical nature of the question and because the question was too broad and indefinite referring to no provision of the Constitution which might be violated.

Justices declined to answer.
