In Cooper v. Telfair (1800) 4 U.S. 14, the United states Supreme court held that: "The presumption must always be in favour of the validity of laws, if the contrary is not clearly demonstrated." Because it is a well settled principle of construction, that conveyances are, if practicable on any reasonable view of the subject, to be sustained rather than pronounced void, and also, that statutes which apparently conflict with each other are to be reconciled, as far as may be on any fair hypothesis, and validity given to each, if it can be and is necessary to conform to usages under them, or to preserve the titles of property undisturbed.
