A highly interpretive and eminently readable study of the Supreme Court during the period in which Melvin Fuller was Chief Justice, offering a complete account of the cases the Court saw during one of the most tumultuous times in U.S. history. The legacy of the Supreme Court at the turn of the century has largely been negative: decisions such as Lochner v. New York (1905), Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co. (1895), In re Debs (1895), and Plessy v. Ferguson have been seen by subsequent generations of lawyers and judges as embodying a judicial method and philosophy that should be avoided at all costs. This book places these decisions in their historical context. It rejects the crude instrumental interpretation of these decisions and explains them as the expression of a conception of liberty that has its roots in the founding of the nation. Pt. 1. The legacy of negative examples -- Pt. 2. Class conflict and the Supreme Court -- Pt. 3. The response to progressivism -- Pt. 4. The concept of the nation -- Pt. 5. Liberty dishonored -- Conclusion THE TWO-HUNDRED-YEAR HISTORY of the Supreme Court has been divided among a dozen or more chief justices.
