The Chief Justiceship of John Marshall, 1801-1835 - Paperback
by Herbert A. Johnson (Author)
A sweeping assessment of the most influential Chief Justice in American history
Perhaps no one has exerted a more profound influence on the United States Supreme Court or on the Federal Constitution than Chief Justice John Marshall. In this history of the high court during the critical years from 1801 to 1835, Herbert A. Johnson offers a comprehensive portrait of the court's activities and accomplishments under Marshall's leadership. Johnson demonstrates that in addition to staving off political attacks from the Jeffersonian and Jacksonian political parties, the Marshall Court established the supremacy of the federal government in areas of national concern, enunciated the commerce and contract clauses as critical foundations for economic development, and definitively shaped the structure of federalism before the Civil War.
Herbert A. Johnson is the Ernest F. Hollings Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of South Carolina School of Law in Columbia. A past president of the American Society for Legal History, Johnson is a former editor of The Papers of John Marshall.
