This book, first published in 1914, contains five historical
essays. Three of them are on the concept of judicial review, which
is defined as the power of a court to review and invalidate
unlawful acts by the legislative and executive branches of
government. One chapter addresses the historical controversy over
states' rights. Another concerns the Pelatiah Webster Myth the
notion that the US Constitution was the work of a single person. In
"Marbury v. Madison and the Doctrine of Judicial Review," Edward S.
Corwin analyzes the legal source of the power of the Supreme Court
to review acts of Congress. "We, the People" examines the rights of
states in relation to secession and nullification. "The Pelatiah
Webster Myth" demolishes Hannis Taylor's thesis that Webster was
the "secret" author of the constitution. "The Dred Scott Decision"
considers Chief Justice Taney's argument concerning Scott's title
to citizenship under the Constitution. "Some Possibilities in the
Way of Treaty-Making" discusses how the US Constitution relates to
international treaties. Matthew J. Franck's new introduction to
this centennial edition situates Corwin's career in the history of
judicial review both as a concept and as a political reality.
