The constitution in the Supreme Court : the first hundred years, 1789-1888

Author:	David P Currie
Publisher:	Chicago : University of Chicago Press, 1985.
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	This comprehensive critical history of the U.S. Supreme Court's constitutional opinions during its first 100 years (1789-1888) is a masterly synthesis of legal analysis and narrative history. It was during this period that the Court created a vigorous tradition of constitutional interpretation, its decisions shaping the nature of government and the lives of citizens. The author maintains that justices are, and ought to be, subservient to the text of the Constitution and therefore are not charged with the invention of legal doctrines that are in consonance with their individual or collective notions of what the Constitution ought to say. Their role, he believes, is to guide litigants according to the principles explicitly stated in the Constitution. They also have an obligation to explain the reasons for their decisions as concisely and persuasively as possible. ISBN 0-226-13108-4 : $55.00 (For use only in the library).  Read more...
