A term-by-term exposition of the Court and its major decisions are explored as factors in the course of history.
Publisher Comments
Lawyers, historians, and laymen will enjoy reading this exposition of the Court
and its decisions as living elements and important factors in the course of the
history of the United States. The Court is described term-by-term so that its
decisions can be correlated to political events. Views of important cases by
then contemporary writers and statesmen are stressed to set the impression made
on the public which, according to the author, often has had as great an effect
on history as the decisions themselves. The important role that public opinion
attacks upon the Court have played is emphasized.
