| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This book addresses the institution of the highest law of the land in the United States, the Federal Supreme Court. More specifically, the enduring influence of the Stone Court on the growth and progress of the Federal Judiciary Branch. An introduction to the US Supreme Court System is provided to lay the foundation for understanding the importance of Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone. The legacy of the Stone Court is then examined through a brief biography of its charismatic leader, followed by an in depth look at the critical cases that defined the court. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
