In pursuance of this authority Congress has „ _ , ^ ^ ^ 2. Crimes an High passed several acts on the subject. For seas.
instance, in 1820 the foreign slave trade ^"^ Piracies {35), A ' • u ^ u 1 .u iP) Felonies {35).
was made piracy, punishable by death.
From the foundation of our government, until 1808, the foreign slave trade was lawful commerce. Congress has the power to enlarge or contract the definition of " piracy " from its common-law meaning. Sir William Blackstone defines "piracy" at c...ommon law to consist in committing those acts of robbery and depredation on the high seas, which, if committed on land, would amount to felony.
"Felony" is another word of common-law definition.
The author last quoted defines it to be every species of crime which at common law occasioned the forfeiture of the lands and goods of the criminal ; and this happens most frequently in those crimes for which a capital punishment is or was inflicted.
Therefore "felony" is a word of generic import, and includes many crimes, such as murder, larceny, arson, burglary, etc.
