The Dartmouth College Causes: And The Supreme Court Of The United States (1879) is a historical text written by John Major Shirley. The book explores the legal battle between the state of New Hampshire and Dartmouth College in the early 19th century. The state attempted to take control of the college, which had been founded as a private institution, but the college fought back, arguing that the state's actions violated the Constitution's Contract Clause. The case eventually made its way to the Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of Dartmouth College, establishing important precedents for the protection of private property and contracts. Shirley's book provides a detailed account of the legal proceedings and the arguments made by both sides, as well as the broader implications of the case for American law and society. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in legal history or the development of American constitutional law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
