When law and equity conflict which prevails?
In general, the law prevails over equity unless the circumstances are such that a manifest injustice would result. The maxim at common law is: "Equity follows the law." This means two things. One is that whenever there is an adequate remedy at law, legal relief rather than equitable relief should be provided. The second is that if the law on a subject is explicit, equity does not supersede it. Equity law developed out of a sense of fairness when the law courts could not grant relief that adequately compensated a party for a loss or harm. Since resort was made to equity only when there was no adequate provision in law, the rule became that courts look to the law first, then to equity.
What is the law governing giving yourself an easement in Washington?
You cannot give yourself an easement over property that you yourself own unless you are simultaneously selling the part of the property with the easement on it to someone else, and that buyer agrees to the easement. Otherwise, you already own the property, so the law already recognizes you as the total owner, i.e. you don't need an easement over land you already own.

What is the law that allows the US to grant statehood?
An "act of admission" by Congress is required to grant statehood. The original acts that allowed new states were under the Articles of Confederation. The "Ordinance of 1784" and the "Northwest Ordinance" (1787) established the principle of forming new states rather than the expansion of existing ones. The Constitution adopted the principle that states could neither split nor merge (although this was subsequently allowed with West Virginia). The Enabling Act of 1802 allowed Ohio to form a state, and set the pattern for future statehood for parts of US territories.
