Hogan v. Page was a case heard by the United States Supreme Court in 1864. The plaintiff, Hogan, had sued for damages after his horse and wagon were seized by Confederate forces during the Civil War. He argued that he should be compensated under the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause because of this seizure without just compensation from the government. The court ruled against Hogan on two grounds: firstly, it held that since no property rights existed between citizens of different states at war with each other (in this case Union and Confederate), there could not be any violation of such rights; secondly, it found that even if such a right did exist, Congress had not authorized any action to enforce it through legislation or otherwise. Ultimately, therefore, Hogan was denied relief as his claim failed to meet either criterion set out by the court for recovery under the Takings Clause of Fifth Amendment.

In Hogan v. Page, the Supreme Court was asked to decide whether a state court had jurisdiction over an action brought by a citizen of one state against another in which the defendant resided in a different state. The majority opinion held that it did not have such jurisdiction and dismissed the case. In his dissent, Justice Field argued that under Article III of the Constitution, citizens of each State are entitled to bring suit against those from other states in their own courts without having to resort to federal courts for relief. He further noted that this right is essential for protecting individuals’ rights and liberties as guaranteed by both federal and state constitutions; thus, he concluded that states should be allowed to exercise jurisdiction over suits between citizens from different states when they arise within their borders.
