Excerpt from The Trial of the Rhode Island Judges: An Episode Touching Currency and Constitutional Law
The army was unpaid and discontented, and when it returned home it was only to find a population dejected and cast down by burdensome taxes with no means to pay them. In this time of general want and discontent, political quackery as usual came to the front, and hinted for a remedy, like the Anarchists of our time, in a division of property and a defiance of economic principle.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating account of The Rhode Island Judges Trial of 1786. Set against the backdrop of an impoverished post-Revolutionary America, this trial brought to light two important issues: the viability of paper money, and the power of the judiciary to declare laws unconstitutional. The author highlights the economic turmoil of the time, contrasting it with the economic principles we hold today. The author then explores the legal significance of the trial, particularly the landmark decision that established the power of the courts to review the constitutionality of laws. This decision, as the author explains, laid the foundation for our system of checks and balances today.
