The Supreme Court and Unconstitutional Legislation, written by Blaine Free Moore and originally published in 1913, is a comprehensive examination of the role of the Supreme Court in determining the constitutionality of legislation passed by Congress. The book explores the historical evolution of this role, from the early years of the Republic to the present day, and analyzes the various methods by which the Court has interpreted the Constitution and applied its principles to cases of legislative overreach.Moore begins by discussing the origins of judicial review, tracing its roots to the landmark case of Marbury v. Madison in 1803. He then examines the different approaches taken by the Court in interpreting the Constitution, including the strict constructionist approach favored by Chief Justice Taney and the more flexible approach of Chief Justice Marshall. Moore also explores the various tests used by the Court to determine whether a law is constitutional, such as the rational basis test and the strict scrutiny test.Throughout the book, Moore provides numerous examples of cases in which the Court has struck down legislation as unconstitutional, including the famous Dred Scott decision and the more recent Affordable Care Act case. He also discusses the role of the Court in shaping public policy, particularly in the areas of civil rights and civil liberties.Overall, The Supreme Court and Unconstitutional Legislation is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Supreme Court and its role in American government. It provides a detailed analysis of the Court's approach to constitutional interpretation and offers insights into the complex legal issues that arise when the Court is called upon to determine the constitutionality of legislative action.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
