About this ebook
This book, first published in 1955, analyzes the Supreme Court decisions that were made between the years 1790 up to and including 1955.
The author, a Yale University Professor of Law, appraises the Supreme Court and its place in the United States’ scheme of government, which is seen to treat the Justices not as law-givers, but as men whose motivations are the direct result of their own political beliefs and personal backgrounds.
A fascinating read.
