Description: The Most Powerful Court in the World by Stuart Banner Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description An authoritative, even-handed, and accessible history of the Supreme Court of the United States, the most powerful court in the world and the final arbiter of the worlds oldest constitution. Will abortion be legal? Should people of the same sex be allowed to marry? May colleges prefer black applicants over white ones? These are among the most bitterly contested issues in the United States today. We answer these questions, andmany more, by presenting them to nine lawyers--the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. No other nation commits so many important questions to its highest court.Stuart Banners TheMost Powerful Court in the World is an authoritative history of the United States Supreme Court from the Founding era to the present. Not merely a history of the Courts opinions and jurisprudence, it is also a rich account of the Court in the broadest sense--of the sorts of people who become justices and the methods by which they are chosen, of how the Court does its work, and of its relationship with other branches of government. It is about how the Court acquired so much power, howit has retained its power in the face of repeated challenges and criticisms, and what it has done with its power over the years. Rather than praising or criticizing the Courts decisions, Banner makes the casethat one cannot fully understand the decisions without knowing about the institution that produced them.Offering a fresh analytical window into todays contentious debates about the Court--debates that often rest on dubious ideas about the Courts history--The Most Powerful Court in the World helps readers see cases through the justices eyes.
