What Kind of Nation: Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall, and the Epic Struggle to Create a United States

by James F. Simon
Publisher: Simon & Schuster (2002-02-26)
ISBN: 0684848708
Binding/Media: Hardcover
Edition: First Edition
Condition: Collectible: Very Good
Comments: 2002. First Edition. First Printing. Full number line. Hardcover. 348pp. Very Good+ in a Very Good+ DJ. What Kind of Nation is a riveting account of the bitter and protracted struggle between two titans of the early republic over the power of the presidency and the independence of the judiciary. The clash between fellow Virginians (and second cousins) Thomas Jefferson and John Marshall remains the most decisive confrontation between a president and a chief justice in American history. Fought in private as well as in full public view, their struggle defined basic constitutional relationships in the early days of the republic and resonates still in debates over the role of the federal government vis-à-vis the states and the authority of the Supreme Court to interpret laws. In a fascinating description of the treason trial of Jefferson's former vice president, Aaron Burr, James F. Simon shows how Marshall rebuffed President Jefferson's claim of executive privilege. That decision served as precedent for a modern Supreme Court ruling rejecting President Nixon's claim that he did not have to hand over the Watergate tapes. Some very minor wear to DJ. No rips or tears. Yellow paper over black boards with title in gold on spine. Text is nice and clean with no writing or highlighting. DJ covered in Brodart Mylar.
