Inhaltsangabe

This volume deals with the history of the early federal courts in general, and with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase in particular. Presser lays out the relationships between the jurisprudence of the early federal judges and the thought of their opponents in Pennsylvania and Virginia, demonstrating that both owed much to thought in late eighteenth-century England.
