Concerning the US Supreme Court when Chief Justice was William Rehnquist

Introduction

The United States Supreme Court is the highest court in the whole US and it has a largely discretionary jurisdiction over state court and over federal courts which involves issues of original jurisdiction and of federal law over a little range of cases. The Supreme Court which is in the US Supreme Court Building in the state of Washington D.C, comprises of a Chief Justice and eight other associate justices who are selected by the President of the US and then confirmed by the Senate of United States. Once nominated, justices have tenures of life until they make resignation or are separated by the accusation.

Concerning the exercise of the judicial power review which was done by the supreme court of the United States is a standardized story especially before the time of Civil War. At that time, the Court was focusing on the establishment of the supremacy regarding the Constitution, the federal Judiciary, and the federal government primarily over the states. It was basically the time for commerce, contracts, and the limitations on the power of state (O'Brien, 2008). The review on the basis of Judiciary Congress was idiosyncratic and exceptional. There was Madison v. Marbury in the year 1803, and the great maneuver of the William Rehnquist who was the Chief Justice was to establish the authority of the judicial review, and there was then Standford v. Dred Scott in the year 1857, the great folly of the Chief Justice Roger Taney for attempting to impose a reading of pro-slavery on the self-inflicted wound of the Court and on the Constitution, and instead there was something else.

Discussion

Uncovering the early history of the review of Judiciary serves some special objectives. Most primarily, it corrects the records of history. The predictable and conservative history of the Supreme Court's behavior and of the judicial review in the republic of early times has some vitally important scholars and various gaps are beginning to reexamine creatively the history of the early times. This Assignment highlights the argumentations about the power of judiciaries' reviews which was established with the nationalized government. Some recent accounts regarding the development of politics especially of the horizontal review of judiciary in the federal government are to some extent schizophrenic. In other means, the latest accounts put emphasis on the theory of big bang for the judicial review's establishment in which the William Rehnquist as the Chief Justice established or created the power of the judiciary review in the case of Madison v. Marbury. Simultaneously, latest accounts provide suggestions regarding the judiciary power for checking the federal government's several other branches which went unused since the last two generations unless the Court made attempts for using the power of imposing a settlement of pro-slavery on the question of territory and was renounced and rejected at the 1860's polling.

Finally, the Assignment makes contributions to the American literature on the ...
