The Establishment Of The National Judiciary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe monarch of ancient times mingled the functions of priest and judge.\u003cbr\u003eIt is therefore not altogether surprising that even today a judicial\u003cbr\u003esystem should be stamped with a certain resemblance to an ecclesiastical\u003cbr\u003ehierarchy. If the Church of the Middle Ages was \"an army encamped on the\u003cbr\u003esoil of Christendom, with its outposts everywhere, subject to the most\u003cbr\u003eefficient discipline, animated with a common purpose, every soldier\u003cbr\u003epanoplied with inviolability and armed with the tremendous weapons which\u003cbr\u003eslew the soul,\" the same words, slightly varied, may be applied to the\u003cbr\u003eFederal Judiciary created by the American Constitution. The Judiciary of\u003cbr\u003ethe United States, though numerically not a large body, reaches through\u003cbr\u003eits process every part of the nation; its ascendancy is primarily\u003cbr\u003ea moral one; it is kept in conformity with final authority by the\u003cbr\u003emachinery of appeal; it is \"animated with a common purpose\"; its members\u003cbr\u003eare \"panoplied\" with what is practically a life tenure of their posts;\u003cbr\u003eand it is \"armed with the tremendous weapons\" which slay legislation.\u003cbr\u003eAnd if the voice of the Church was the voice of God, so the voice of\u003cbr\u003ethe Court is the voice of the American people as this is recorded in the\u003cbr\u003eConstitution.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079790641392,"sku":"2940013840836","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013840836_p0.jpg?v=1763595406","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013840836","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
