Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Todays Supreme Court justices bristle at the label politicians in robes, insisting that they operate above the fray of partisan politics. But for the first century of the nations history, the Court was unmistakably a political institution, both by design and in practice. Justices were fully expected to engage in partisan politicsthere was no concern that such engagement would lead to corruption or undue biasand they remained deeply involved in civic debate and the electoral process while on the bench. In addition to hearing cases in the capital, each justice spent much of his time riding circuit and presiding over federal trial courts. On circuit and in Washington, nineteenth-century justices wrote for partisan newspapers, drafted legislation, advised partisan allies, campaigned for colleagues, and even ran for political offices from the bench. Through these political interactions, members of the Court helped shape debates about the Constitutions meaning at a time when most Americans did not believe in judicial supremacy. In this sweeping history, Rachel A. Shelden, one of Americas leading voices on the history of the Court, brings readers inside the social and political world of its justices, recovering their essential role in the eras turbulent politics. She also charts shifts at the turn of the twentieth century, when members of the Court and the legal community refashioned the judiciary as an apolitical institution, setting the stage for an increasingly more powerfuland more isolatedmodern Court. The Political Supreme Court is required reading for anyone interested in the legal and political underpinnings of todays judicial power.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Traditional portrayals of politicians in antebellum Washington, D.C., describe a violent and divisive society, full of angry debates and violent duels, a microcosm of the building animosity throughout the country. Yet, in Washington Brotherhood, Rachel Shelden paints a more nuanced portrait of Washington as a less fractious city with a vibrant social and cultural life. Politicians from different parties and sections of the country interacted in a variety of day-to-day activities outside traditional political spaces and came to know one another on a personal level. Shelden shows that this engagement by figures such as Stephen Douglas, John Crittenden, Abraham Lincoln, and Alexander Stephens had important consequences for how lawmakers dealt with the sectional disputes that bedeviled the country during the 1840s and 1850s - particularly disputes involving slavery in the territories.Shelden uses primary documents - from housing records to personal diaries - to reveal the ways in which this political sociability influenced how laws were made in the antebellum era. Ultimately, this Washington ""bubble"" explains why so many of these men were unprepared for secession and war when the winter of 1860-61 arrived.…
