The Justification of Judicial Review
Number of pages:
6
ABSTRACT:
A 6 page discussion of the historical basis for judicial review. Judge Learned Hand is attributed as having said that their is “nothing in the United States Constitution that gave courts any authority to review the decisions of Congress”. Others in U.S. history, however, contend that judicial review is necessary in order to preserve limited government in this country. This paper investigates the intent of our founding fathers as well as key findings such as that presented by Chief Justice John Marshal in Marbury v. Madison. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
