Description

This book presents Marshall's own words, the views of his contemporaries, and analyses in retrospect by leading historians and political scientists. In 1801 John Marshall became chief justice of a Supreme Court that was only vaguely endowed with power and generally held in low esteem. By the end of Marshall's thirty-four years of service, his judicial opinions had decisively established the Supreme Court's authority and special role in the American governmental system.
