{"product_id":"9781469623481","title":"The Papers of John Marshall, Volume IX: Correspondence, Papers, and Selected Judicial Opinions, January 1820-December 1823","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume marks the continuation of the first annotated edition of the papers of John Marshall, the great statesman and jurist. The Supreme Court's most celebrated case during these years was \u003ci\u003eCohens\u003c\/i\u003e v. \u003ci\u003eVirginia\u003c\/i\u003e (1821). What began as a prosecution for the sale of lottery tickets eventually brought forth a major statement on the scope and extent of federal judicial power from Chief Justice Marshall. Like \u003ci\u003eMcCulloch\u003c\/i\u003e v. \u003ci\u003eMaryland\u003c\/i\u003e (1819), the \u003ci\u003eCohens\u003c\/i\u003e decision provoked the wrath of the guardians of states' rights in Virginia. As his correspondence shows, Marshall was deeply concerned that the reaction to \u003ci\u003eCohens\u003c\/i\u003e and other nationalizing decisions would translate into proposals to curb the Supreme Court's powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBesides chronicling Marshall's judicial activities, this volume yields illuminating glimpses into his private interests and family life. When not sitting in court, Marshall was busy revising his \u003ci\u003eLife of Washington\u003c\/i\u003e and preparing an edition of General Washington's letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omohundro Institute and University of North Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047538245872,"sku":"9781469623481","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781469623481_p0.jpg?v=1763700750","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781469623481","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
