A fascinating exploration of the first two Supreme Courts and how
they laid the groundwork for the modern-day Court. When the Supreme
Court was established in 1789, no other country had a judicial body
quite like it. The early justices struggled to give definition to
such concepts as "judicial review" and "separation of powers." The
early court approached its role in ways that would be startling
today, often using its power to support the new government rather
than merely serving as an independent arbiter. The Jay-Ellsworth
Courts were the first to take up the role of interpreting the
constitution, and their approach influenced constitutional debates
for the next two centuries. Clearly, this is a book for any reader
who wishes to understand how the court was initially set up and how
it functioned in our early judicial history. Biographies of key
justices such as Oliver Ellsworth, John Marshall, and John Jay
Background reference section containing A-Z entries on the people,
such as George Washington and John Adams; laws and constitutional
provisions, including the First Judiciary Act and Article III; and
concepts, such as "judicial review" and "separation of powers,"
that are important to an understanding of the Jay and Ellsworth
Courts
