Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relation of the Judiciary to the Constitution It is the conviction of this danger that has led me once more to take up the subject of Judicial Power. To-day many have treated the various phases of the origin of the American Doctrine, and a vast deal of matter bearing on its history and nature has been gathered together by various writers; but I feel that the subject will bear still another treatment. This should, in my Opinion, be altogether historical in method, and some phases of the very early growth of that Doctrine are happily now far more accessible than was the case even less than a decade ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Supreme Court and the Constitution This little volume is based upon an article which I published in the Political Science Quarterly for March, 1912. The original text has been considerably expanded by the addition of new illustrative materials. It seems hardly necessary to apologize for including such copious quotations from the writings of "the Fathers" on the point at issue. The best paraphrases are never so eloquent or convincing as the documents themselves. Mr. B. E. Shultz assisted me in collecting the materials for the essay, and I wish to acknowledge my debt to him for this service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Courts, the Constitution, and Parties: Studies in Constitutional History and Politics All except the first, the longest of these papers, have appeared elsewhere in print.

The paper on The Significance of Political Parties appeared in the Atlantic Monthly and is here reprinted with the courteous permission of the publishers of that magazine. The paper on Political Parties and Popular Government was given as an address before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Indiana University in June, 1911.

Download or read book The State Corporation as a Party in the Federal Courts Classic Reprint written by Francis Elisha Baker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State Corporation as a Party in the Federal Courts In tracing this construction and drawing some conclusions and suggestions therefrom, I shall not take up the various judiciary and removal acts of Congress, for, though that body may endow the inferior Federal courts with less jurisdiction than the Constitution warrants, it can not rightfully bestow greater. From the formation of the State to the adoption of the National Constitution, Massachusetts chartered but one corporation (curtis's Jurisdiction, Ch. Judging by the history of that leading Commonwealth, the number of corporations in all the States when the Constitution was adopted did not equal the present daily average for Indiana. The inference is strong that the case of corporations as parties in non-federal litiga tion was not actually in the minds of the framers in formulating the judiciary article of the Constitution. Undoubtedly the use of the word person would have let in corporations, and that, too, within the common acceptation of the word at the time, and without creating a fiction or irrebuttable presumption. But the Constitution itself (and the Amendments) shows a careful and precise use of the words person and citizen. The President must be a citizen. Citizens are entitled to certain privileges and immunities. A person charged with treason. No person shall be held to answer. No person shall be deprived, etc. The Supreme Court has always held that a corporation is a person within those provisions of the Constitution in which the word person is employed. The Supreme Court has always held that a corporation is not a citizen within those provisions of the Constitution in which the word citizen is employed, except the section conferring jurisdiction on the Federal courts. Under that section it has never been held that a corporation is a citizen, but in some cases it has been said that a corpora tion, for the purposes of Federal jurisdiction, may be deemed to be a citizen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Federal Judiciary: A Thanksgiving Discourse Gentlemen - I need not say to you that the article of our Constitution which provides for the erection of a tribunal for the peaceful arbitration of differences among the various governments embraced in the Federal Union, is justly regarded as one of the highest achievements of political wisdom the world has ever seen. It was this conviction which led me, on the late Thanksgiving Day, to call attention to the Judiciary as a great national blessing, too little remembered by us. My discourse has been received, especially by the Bench and Bar, with a kindness I could not have anticipated. I feel myself honoured by your note, and cheerfully place the manuscript at your disposal. I am, Gentlemen, Very respectfully and truly yours, henry A. Boardman. To the Hon. Robert C. Grier, Hon. W.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from State Documents on Federal Relations: The States and the United States The following collection of documents on the relations of the States to the Federal Government, 1789 - 1861, comprises typical papers covering the official action of various states in different sections of the country, relative to the chief political and consti tutional issues in our history. The documents have been selected especially with a view to illustrate the development of the doc trines of broad and strict construction, the prevalence of the compact theory of the Constitution and the doctrine of State Rights, State opposition to the Federal Judiciary, and the differ ent phases of the slavery controversy, culminating in the seces sion movement. The truth of the statement of Alexander John ston, that Almost every State in the Union in turn declared its own sovereignity and denounced as almost treasonable similar declarations in other cases by other States, is fully sustained by the following documents.

Download or read book Restoring the Lost Constitution written by Randy E. Barnett and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-24 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Constitution found in school textbooks and under glass in Washington is not the one enforced today by the Supreme Court. In Restoring the Lost Constitution, Randy Barnett argues that since the nation's founding, but especially since the 1930s, the courts have been cutting holes in the original Constitution and its amendments to eliminate the parts that protect liberty from the power of government. From the Commerce Clause, to the Necessary and Proper Clause, to the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, to the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Supreme Court has rendered each of these provisions toothless. In the process, the written Constitution has been lost. Barnett establishes the original meaning of these lost clauses and offers a practical way to restore them to their central role in constraining government: adopting a "presumption of liberty" to give the benefit of the doubt to citizens when laws restrict their rightful exercises of liberty. He also provides a new, realistic and philosophically rigorous theory of constitutional legitimacy that justifies both interpreting the Constitution according to its original meaning and, where that meaning is vague or open-ended, construing it so as to better protect the rights retained by the people. As clearly argued as it is insightful and provocative, Restoring the Lost Constitution forcefully disputes the conventional wisdom, posing a powerful challenge to which others must now respond. This updated edition features an afterword with further reflections on individual popular sovereignty, originalist interpretation, judicial engagement, and the gravitational force that original meaning has exerted on the Supreme Court in several recent cases.

Download or read book The Federalist Papers written by Alexander Hamilton and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.

Download or read book Rationing the Constitution written by Andrew Coan and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Supreme Court is a tiny institution that can resolve only a fraction of the constitutional issues generated by the American government. This simple yet startling fact is impossible to deny, but few students of the Court have seriously considered its implications. In Rationing the Constitution, Andrew Coan explains how the Court's limited capacity shapes U.S. constitutional law and argues that the limits of judicial capacity powerfully constrain Supreme Court decision-making on many of the most important constitutional questions, spanning federalism, separation of powers, and individual rights. Examples include the commerce power, presidential powers, Equal Protection, and regulatory takings. The implications for U.S. constitutional law are profound. Lawyers, academics, and social activists pursuing social reform through the courts must consider whether their goals can be accomplished within the constraints of judicial capacity.--

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Daniel Webster: The Expounder of the Constitution Well might we say when we contemplate the magnitude of these labors - Who is sufficient for these things? No doubt now, as in the Apostles' time, there are many who pervert the word of God, of whose justice and equity courts of justice ought to be the visible embodiment. But also there are many who, like St. Paul, speak in godly sincerity, and fulfil with singleness of heart the true function of the lawyer, which is to aid the court in the dis charge of its exalted and responsible office.

Download or read book The Relation of the Judiciary to the Constitution written by William Montgomery Meigs and published by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reprint of the only edition. Meigs [1852-1929] established his reputation with pioneering research on the antecedents of the American doctrine of judicial review. Much of his later work traced the doctrine's subsequent history. The Relation of the Judiciary and the Constitution is a summary of this scholarship, as well as a summary of work by other scholars who developed areas uncovered by his research. Although it is primarily a history, Meigs's study has a secondary agenda: to show how "the noisy minority" of an unchecked judiciary "lead[s] the country...to launch out on evil ways" (10). In this regard he anticipated the viewpoint of conservative critics today who denounce judges who "legislate from the bench."
