Following the bitterly contested election between Adams and
Jefferson in 1800, the United States teetered on the brink of a
second revolution. When Adams sought to prolong his policies in
defiance of the electorate by packing the courts, it became evident
that the new Constitution was limited in its powers. Change was in
order and John Marshall stepped up to the challenge.
"The Great Decision" tells the riveting story of Marshall and of
the landmark court case, "Marbury v. Madison," through which he
empowered the Supreme Court and transformed the idea of the
separation of powers into a working blueprint for our modern state.
Rich in atmospheric detail, political intrigue, and fascinating
characters, "The Great Decision" is an illuminating tale of
America's formative years and the evolution of our democracy.
