The early justices struggled to give definition to such concepts as "judicial review" and "separation of powers." The early court approached its role in ways that would be startling today, often using its power to support the new government rather than merely serving as an independent arbiter. The Jay-Ellsworth Courts were the first to take up the role of interpreting the constitution, and their approach influenced constitutional debates for the next two centuries. Clearly, this is a book for any reader who wishes to understand how the court was initially set up and how it functioned in our early judicial history. 410 0$aABC-CLIO Supreme Court handbooks. 606 $aConstitutional law$zUnited States 606 $aJudges$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aJudges 676 $a347.73/2609 700 $aHarrington$b Matthew P$01682001 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811498103321 996 $aJay and Ellsworth, the first courts$94051798 997 $aUNINA
