About this book
The Essentials of American Constitutional Law is by Francis Newton Thorpe, who is described as professor of political science and constitutional law at the University of Pittsburgh. The preface says the principles of American constitutional law are the foundation of all judicial decisions. The preface quotes Marshall as observing that it is “the province and duty of the Courts to say what the law is.”
The text says that in creating inferior courts, Congress determines the jurisdiction but not the judicial power exercisable within the jurisdiction. The text says the Supreme Court “says what the law is,” and calls this the peculiar office of courts of law. The text says that a State can no more impair its own contracts, by legislation, than it can impair the obligation of the contracts of individuals.
