"This is not a book on constitutional law. It is primarily an attempt to fill a gap by explaining in greater detail than is possible in a broad history of the United States the role of the Supreme Court in the nation's history, the political and economic origins of some of the cases decided by that Court and the impact of those decisions on the life of the nation." -- Preface.
