"This work explores the Court's 22 years of accomplishment, places its decisions in historical context, and charts its role in the sweeping economic and social changes that transformed U.S. society. The volume examines the creation of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Sherman Act, the Pure Food and Drug Act, and other regulatory milestones. It also shows how the Court strengthened state control of criminal justice and protected property rights and individual liberties."--Jacket.

Work Description
The Fuller Court: Justices, Rulings, and Legacy presents an in-depth analysis of the decisions and impact of the U.S. Supreme Court during the twenty-two year reign of Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller. An exploration of key Court decisionsoranging from railroad rate regulation and the Due Process Clause to the 1894 income taxoreveals how the Court assigned a high priority to individual liberty, which it defined largely in economic terms.A revealing discussion of the Commerce Clause and the Interstate Commerce Commission shows how the Fuller Court both limited and accepted some expansion of federal authority. Profiles of the nineteen justices who served on the Fuller Court place a special emphasis on those who made the most significant impact, including John Marshall Harlan, Samuel F. Miller, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
