Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States by Joseph Story Pdf

Reprint of the second edition, with additions by his son, W.W. Story [1819-1895]. Originally published: Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1851. Two volumes. xxxiii, 734; 632 pp. First published in 1833, this work is generally considered to be the most important work written on the American Constitution before the Civil War, and it remains an important work. Dedicated to John Marshall, it presents a strongly Nationalist interpretation. It is divided into three books. Book I contains a history of the colonies and discussion of their charters. Book II discusses the Continental Congress and analyzes the fl aws that crippled the Articles of Confederation. Book III begins with a history of the Constitution and its ratification. This is followed by a brilliant line-by-line exposition of each of its articles and amendments. Comparing it to The Federalist, James Kent said that Story's work was "written in the same free and liberal spirit, with equal exactness and soundness of doctrine, and with great beauty and eloquence of composition.... Whoever seeks...a complete history and exposition of this branch of our jurisprudence, will have recourse to [this] work, which is written with great candor, and characterized by extended research, and a careful examination of the vital principles upon which our government reposes." cited in Marvin, Legal Bibliography 669-670. Apart from James Kent, no man has had greater influence on the development of American law than Joseph Story [1779-1845]. He was Dane Professor of Law at Harvard, where he played a key role in the growth of the school and the establishment of its national eminence. His many books have been cited extensively to this day. An associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1812 to 1845, and the youngest person ever to serve on the Court, he was the author of several landmark decisions, such as Martin v. Hunter's Lessee and Prigg v. Pennsylvania.

Not illustrated. 1833 edition. Excerpt: ... wholly immaterial, that the law to be administered in cases of foreigners is often very distinct from the mere municipal code of a state, and dependent upon the law merchant, or the more enlarged consideration of international rights and duties, in a case of conflict of the foreign and domestic laws.1 And it may fairly be presumed, that the national tribunals will, from the nature of their ordinary functions, become better acquainted with the general principles, which regulate subjects of this nature, than other courts, however enlightened, which are rarely required to discuss them. 1693. In regard to controversies between an American and a foreign state, it is obvious, that the suit must, on one side at least, be wholly voluntary. No foreign state can be compelled to become a party, plaintiff or defendant, in any of our tribunals.* If, therefore, it chooses to consent to the institution of any suit, it is its consent alone, which can give effect to the jurisdiction of the court. It is certainly desirable to furnish some peaceable mode of appeal in cases, where any controversy may exist between an American and a foreign state, sufficiently important to require the grievance to be redressed by any other mode, than through the instrumentality of negotiations.3 DEGREES 1694. The inquiry may here be made, who are to be deemed aliens entitled to sue in the courts of the United States. The general answer is, any person, who is not a citizen of the United States. A foreigner, who is naturalized, is no longer entitled to the character tion of the constitution, by suits brought in the national courts. See Ware v. Hyllon, 3 Dall. R. 199. i See 1 Tucker's Black. Comm. App. 421; 3 Elliot's Deb. 282, 283 2 See 2 Elliot's Deb. 391, 407; Foster v

Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States: With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States, Before the by Joseph Story Pdf

Joseph Story's extensive narration of the United States Constitution is grounded in the social and political history of the text, and the meticulous researches of the author. This edition includes all of the author's notes. At over half a million words, the commentaries of Joseph Story upon the Constitution stands among most thorough ever written. Believing that the Constitution must be understood in multiple contexts, Story commences by presenting a history of the American Colonies - each is covered in turn, offering the reader cultural insight. The Revolutionary War was accompanied by the publication of the Articles of Confederation. These were a precursor to the Constitution of the USA, and Story examines the document accordingly. The establishment of a constitutional document is shown to be a defining and crucial trait of the incipient Republic, and Story demonstrates that from the outset the composition, formation and ratification processes were beset with differences of opinion and compromise.
