Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gleanings Form the Judicial History of Rhode Island The first settlers of Rhode Island founded not a single State but four separate communities; namely, Providence in 1636, Portsmouth in 1638, Newport in 1639, and Warwick in 1642. The W'arwick set tlers, guided by Gorton, believed they had no right to create a government for themselves, Without the sanction of the Mother Country, and accordingly re mained, until after the organization under the first charter in 1647, without government and of course Without a judiciary. They probably had recourse in their private differences to arbitration; but how they managed to repress crime and preserve the peace for five years is not easily conjectured. The.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Distinct Judicial Power: The Origins of an Independent Judiciary, 1606-1787, by Scott Douglas Gerber, provides the first comprehensive critical analysis of the origins of judicial independence in the United States. Part I examines the political theory of an independent judiciary. Gerber begins chapter 1 by tracing the intellectual origins of a distinct judicial power from Aristotle's theory of a mixed constitution to John Adams's modifications of Montesquieu. Chapter 2 describes the debates during the framing and ratification of the federal Constitution regarding the independence of the federal judiciary. Part II, the bulk of the book, chronicles how each of the original thirteen states and their colonial antecedents treated their respective judiciaries. This portion, presented in thirteen separate chapters, brings together a wealth of information (charters, instructions, statutes, etc.) about the judicial power between 1606 and 1787, and sometimes beyond. Part III, the concluding segment, explores the influence the colonial and early state experiences had on the federal model that followed and on the nature of the regime itself. It explains how the political theory of an independent judiciary examined in Part I, and the various experiences of the original thirteen states and their colonial antecedents chronicled in Part II, culminated in Article III of the U.S. Constitution. It also explains how the principle of judicial independence embodied by Article III made the doctrine of judicial review possible, and committed that doctrine to the protection of individual rights.
