John Marshall and the Constitution; a chronicle of the Supreme court eBook Edward Samuel Corwin Allen Johnson
. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (1801-1835) I found the work interesting and informative albeit somewhat over my head when it came to referencing court cases. One case I found particularly interesting was when Aaron Burr, that wiley rascal, was being accused of treason. Seems he planned to create his own army and start a war with Spain over Mexico. Very interesting indeed. Also it appears that then as now, not everyone was on board with the Constitution and how to interpret it.Product details

John Marshall and the Constitution; a chronicle of the Supreme court eBook Edward Samuel Corwin Allen Johnson Reviews
Very easy and enjoyable read
A good summary of Marshall's contribution to the Supreme Court. The book helped me to better understand that Marshall personally knew most of the signers of the Constitution.
I have read much about John Marshall this book has helped me understand the man and what he thought. Other books have been more about what he accomplished and not about why.
This is a classic work by one of the most noted constitutional scholars of the early 20th century. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the information to indicate that the book was actually published in 1919. (My first clue was the passage saying that something that happened in 1805 or thereabouts was "a hundred years" ago.) The book sounds amazingly modern and it's remarkable that much of the discussion about separation of powers and the history of the Constitution seems so contemporary. Of course, the Rehnquist and Roberts Courts have radically changed the interpretation of the Constitution's stance on "state sovereignty," so the portions on Marshall's great later opinions on states and the Constitution do seem different from current understandings. Very interesting to read the views of a major scholar from nearly 100 years ago on the events of the early Republic.
As the other reviews indicate, this is a history of John Marshall and his major ideas which developed in his jurisprudence. What they don't tell you is that this is a fascinating history as well. The author goes into major events which I had little knowledge of, such as the trial of Aaron Burr for treason and Marshall's deep loathing for Jefferson. If you're looking for a good overview of the themes in Marshall's judicial philosophy, this is a good book. If you're looking for a great history of Marshall's role in some of the pivotal events in the early history of our country, this is a great book.
This is an excellent book. It is short, concise, and well researched. It hits all the key points of Marshall's life and his career, and sets forth a thorough analysis of Marshall's enduring contributions to the early development of the nation and to constitutional law and jurisprudence. I enjoyed this book and would strongly recommend it.
With my new , for good or ill, I am able to download a lot more stuff. This book, which is also obtainable online, was an example of the many books in the public domain that can be obtained free of charge. The copy I received here had a slight problem -- it did not include footnotes, which are represented by asterisk that don't go anywhere. Those interested can search for the book online and the footnotes are not too substantive. So, it is only a minor annoyance, one that is probably more an issue for other works.
The book is almost a hundred years old, but it has a contemporary flavor that is mostly accessible to the general reader, even though the author is an expert in the field. Another review argued that it expected you to know various bits of history and the like and that it confused the reader in the process. I am familiar with the ground covered, so I might not be the best one to say, but overall, I think that is at least somewhat exaggerated. The material (John Marshall was on the Supreme Court for three decades and lived about eighty years) is vast, so an abbreviated work of this nature does require some summary that might leave the uninitiated somewhat confused. On the other hand, there are various places (including Wikipedia) where a bit of additional basic background can be provided. Again, I think the book is appealing for the educated layman and provides enough background to avoid confusion.
The book is interesting and a pleasant read. It covers his life as a whole with a couple chapters that focus on his personal biography with some charming insights into his life and character. It does not glorify the subject as some might, for instance, it argues that his reasoning in various cases was later deemed problematic or even wrong. The book covers a few highlights of his Supreme Court experience. Other longer works can be read to get more detail in that respect. Again, this is basically a quick overview. On that level, it is above average and a worthwhile read. Since the footnote issue is not a big deal, the price (as compared to hard copies) is quite impressive.
A final note. The author is writing in a somewhat interesting time -- before the New Deal and the great debate over the role of the Supreme Court in national life. 1919 was before the second "Lochner Era" when the Supreme Court underwent an uptick of conservative jurisprudence under Chief Justice Taft. The author notes that the Supreme Court was more nationalist "now" but might have had a different perspective a decade later. He also notes that Marshall had a more absolutist view on rights, again, later on the Supreme Court had a less "balancing test" approach in that regard, first in respect to property rights, then other liberties. Marshall supported national supremacy in various respects and is a model for a certain view of jurisprudence. The book is not ideological as such, but the author's support of an approach simpicato in some respects to Marshall does appear to affect its tone at times.
