"I have finished reading this great work Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, and wish it could be read by every statesman, and every would-be statesman in the United States. It is a comprehensive and an accurate commentary on our Constitution, formed in the spirit of the original text." -Chief Justice John Marshall (1833) Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States-with a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States Before the Adoption of the Constitution-Abridged by the Author for the Use of Colleges and High Schools was an abridgment by Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story of his own previously published three-volume work of 1833. Because this abridgment was required reading at many colleges, it became more popular than the original landmark of early American jurisprudence, which is still an important source about the forming of the American republic and about Story's defense of the power of the national government and economic liberty.
Autorenporträt
Apart from James Kent, no man has had greater influence on the development of American law than Joseph Story [1779-1845]. He was Dane Professor of Law at Harvard, where he played a key role in the growth of the school and the establishment of its national eminence. Story was appointed the youngest Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1811, where he was the author of several landmark decisions, such as Martin v. Hunter's Lessee. His many books have been cited extensively, and he remains an authority today.
