Ebook: The Role of the Supreme Court in American Government and Politics, 1835–1864

This volume follows the Marshall years with a history of the Taney era, and examines the political and economic issues as well as the prominent legal issues of the era such as states rights and slavery that shaped the Court's decisions. Haines' untimely death while writing this the continuation to The Role of the Supreme Court in American Government and Politics 1789-1835 led to the work's completion by Haines' colleague at the University of California at Los Angeles, Foster H. Sherwood.
