Through close studies of two Supreme Court cases, Ackerman shows how the court integrated Federalist and Republican themes into the living Constitution of the early republic. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aConstitutional history$zUnited States 606 $aFederal government$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSeparation of powers$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1801-1809 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1797-1801 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPresidents$xHistory. 615 0$aConstitutional history 615 0$aFederal government$xHistory. 615 0$aSeparation of powers$xHistory. 676 $a320.97309034 686 $aNO 2300$2rvk 700 $aAckerman$b Bruce A$0123194 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455126603321 996 $aThe failure of the founding fathers$92454541 997 $aUNINA
