The debate over Judicial Review came to an end in the Marshall Court era with the decision of Marbury v Madison in 1803. The Marshall Court claimed the right of Judicial Review, which allows for much of the day-to-day power of the Supreme Court and its impact on the policy process. This established the Supreme Court as the final arbiter of Constitutional questions, with the right to declare Congressional acts void. With this decision, the Supreme Court became a branch with such policy-making power, and arguably the most powerful branch of all. One of the major battles we have over this issue, is the fact that all Federal Judges are appointed for life.
The Law: Frederic Bastiat In 1850, a French Legislature who went by the name of Frederic Bastiat wrote a pamphlet called “The Law”. This short persuasive piece is a great depiction on the way most conservatives, libertarians, even tea party members believe government should act towards their citizens to ensure liberty and rights. Throughout the book there were multiple points that Bastiat made that popped out as I was reading that I related directly to our government today. Although this pamphlet was written over a century ago, the key ideas still serve to be true all over the world with all of the corrupted governments in third world countries. Even in “free” countries like the United States there is still corruption, or “plunder” as Bastiat would say, that put limitations on citizen’s natural freedoms.
| Wickard v. Filburn | Government 2305Sec. 003 | | W.G. Nichols | 10/22/2010 | | Wickard v. Filburn This is the case of an Ohio farmer, Roscoe C. Filburn that went before the U. S. Supreme Court on appeal by the Secretary of Agriculture, Claude R. Wickard in 1942. I chose this case because for myself and others it is thought to have marked a high-water mark in Commerce Clause jurisprudence (Chen 22). The case is also significant for other reasons.

John Jay John Jay, born 1745-1829 , was an American statesman, and the first Chief Justice of the United States. He graduated from King’s College (now Columbia Univ.) in 1764. In pre-Revolutionary actions he reflected the views of the conservative colonial merchant, opposing British actions but not favoring independence. As a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses he urged a moderate policy, served on various committees, drafted correspondence, and wrote a famous address to the people of Great Britain.

John Marshall, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court for 34 years, was the most influential person in regards to shaping the constitution interpretation to the conservative. John Marshall affirmed the right of judicial review over Congressional legislation; however, the Chief Justice contributed much more to the Judicial Branch and the federal government. He used his traits to position the Judiciary as a co-equal branch of the United States’ government and to prevent the states from eroding federal power after the Eleventh Amendment was ratified. He made the judicial branch of the government the most powerful, in giving it the ability to interpret acts. Some monumental cases shaped the constitution along conservative lines are Marbury v. Madison, McCulloch v. Maryland, Dartmouth v. Woodward, and Gibbons v Ogden.
Throughout history, authority figures have been commonplace in virtually every society; however, resistance to the aforementioned authority has not been. Just as Stanley Milgram illustrates in his book, Obedience to Authority, I too believe that it is far easier for a subject to comply with what he or she is told than to rebel against rules and protocol. In this paper, I will argue that those who are subjected to authority inherently fail to oppose it, and succumb to it by nature. Resistance is hard to come by, and at times when it is present, it comes under many positions and precursors before it that led up to it. Reasons for lack of resistance and tendency towards compliance include, but are not limited to, fear of disruption of power structure
Following the Bill of Rights slide, I learned about the “Warren Court” which was created in 1960 in the U.S. Supreme court under Chief Justice Earl Warren and more rights were added during this time for the criminal process. Police had specific procedures to follow and changes in how investigations, arrests, and interrogations came about. After reviewing the Warren Court slide, we discussed what rights that are guaranteed by the constitutional amendments. Some of the first 10 amendments include right to a speedy trial, reasonable bail, right to a jury trial, right to a lawyer, right to no cruel or unusual punishment, and due process of law. Followed by some our rights, Due process were covered.
Chapter 1: New England The writer of an historical essay dealing with the origin of the art of brewing, even in countries of comparatively recent civilization, cannot escape the necessity of taking into account a certain element of mythical obscurity, calculated to throw a legendary glamour around and about the introduction of a beverage, the invention of which has been ascribed by the popular imagination of ancient times to certain benevolent gods, either male or female, according to the mythological systems of the different countries. Even the history of brewing in New England is not entirely free from this legendary element, although there is, indeed, no dearth of well-authenticated historical facts from the very moment when the new
