An insightful, chronological—by chief justice—examination of the Supreme Court that enables students and readers to understand and appreciate the constitutional role the Court plays in American government and society.

Unfortunately, the role and powers of the third branch of government are not well understood by the American public. After an introduction and overview to the history of the Supreme Cour

The chapter explores how India challenged Thurman to articulate a black Christian theological perspective in light of colonialism and segregation in the United States.

Widely regarded as America's most important Chief Justice, John Marshall influenced our constitutional, political, and economic development as much as any American. He handed down landmark decisions on judicial review, federal-state relations, contracts, corporations, and commercial regulation during a thirty-four year tenure that encompassed five presidencies, a second war of independence, the demise of the first American party system, and the advent of Jacksonianism and market capitalism.

These ideologies evolved along with the broader political and economic situation in the German Democratic Republic.

This chapter examines the events that put Aymer de Valence in a state of partial eclipse from October 1313 to April 1316.

This is what happened when Edward II's forces were defeated at Bannockburn in June 1314. Since then, Pembroke's importance diminished as the King's own freedom of action declined. As a result, much of Pembroke's authority had vanished by the end of 1314 as the King's chief opponents, Thomas, Earl of Lancaster and Guy de Beau

Early medieval legislation is a phrase intended to encompass the written legal traditions of the western European peoples who inherited the fragmenting provinces of the Roman Empire in the late fifth century and developed political communities over the next four centuries. While almost all the legislation produced by early medieval peoples was done in conscious emulation of Roman modes of authority, it possesses some features which makes it unique. Chief among these differences was a tendency to treat all wrong as emendable, and to set prices for various types of offences including homicide an

Charles Dibdin (1745–1814) was one of the most popular and influential producers of late Georgian culture. The huge diversity of his work and career defies simple categorization. He was, often at one and the same time, an actor, lyricist, composer, singer-songwriter, comedian, theatre-manager, journalist, and author of novels, historical works, polemical pamphlets, and guides to musical education. Consequently, he is important to many different fields for often quite dissimilar reasons.

Kabbalah played a surprisingly prominent and far-reaching role in eighteenth-century Prague.

A rabbinic leader who is best known for his halakhic responsa collection the Noda biyehudah, Landau is generally considered a staunch opponent of esoteric practices and public kabbalistic discourse.

If the state allows those rights to be violated or violates them itself, individual citizens ought to resist, and the church should lend its moral authority. As this book has shown, Bonhoeffer’s vision of resistance differs from ours in several important ways. His political thinking privileges not rights but the state’s mandate for preservation. And for

The chapter examines some of the chief arguments made for this claim, rejecting them as totalizing.
