The Doctrine of Judicial Review, Its Legal and Historical Basis

Description: This book scrutinizes the legal basis for the Supreme Court's authority over acts of Congress by examining the doctrine of judicial review. Tracing its origins to the 1787 Constitutional Convention, the author shows that the Founders believed that the Constitution established this power, even if they did not include language to that effect in the document because they presumed general principles would provide enough security for it. As a result, the Supreme Court has frequently ruled against Acts of Congress, which sparked debate about whether it had the right to do so. The author contends that judicial review rests on the idea that the Constitution is supreme and that courts, being its ultimate arbiters, can declare any law in violation of it null and void, offering a nuanced understanding of the historical background and theoretical justifications for this essential check and balance in American governance.
