Research a Supreme Court case between two states that involved original jurisdiction. What issues were at stake? What states were involved? What was the issue in dispute? What was decided by the supreme court?
One example of a Supreme Court case between two states that involved original jurisdiction is the case of Kansas v. Colorado (1907).
The states of Kansas and Colorado were involved in this case. The issue in dispute was over water rights in the Arkansas River, as Kansas accused Colorado of diverting water that was allocated to Kansas under a compact between the two states.
The Supreme Court ultimately decided in favor of Kansas, holding that Colorado had indeed violated the terms of the compact by diverting water from the Arkansas River. Colorado was ordered to pay damages to Kansas for the loss of water. This case set a precedent for resolving interstate water disputes and reaffirmed the importance of upholding interstate compacts.
