such States by Parliament by law, and if resolutions to that effect are passed by all the
Houses of the Legislatures of those States, it shall be lawful for Parliament to pass an act for
regulating that matter accordingly, and any Act so passed shall apply to such States and to
any other State by which it is adopted afterwards by resolution passed in that behalf by the
House or, where there are two Houses, by each of the Houses of the Legislature of that State.

Parliament passed or adopted in like manner but shall not, as respects any State to which it
