Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States Vol. III (in three volumes) by Joseph Story

I have finished reading this great work Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, and wish it could be read by every statesman, and every would-be statesman in the United States. It is a comprehensive and an accurate commentary on our Constitution, formed in the spirit of the original text. --Chief Justice John Marshall (1833)

Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States Vol. III--with a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States Before the Adoption of the Constitution, written by Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story in three volumes, was first published in 1833, of which this edition is a replica. This work is a landmark of early American jurisprudence and is still an important source about the forming of the American republic and about Story's defense of the power of the national government and economic liberty.

Joseph Story (1779-1845) was an influential Justice of the United States Supreme Court before the Civil War and an author of legendary legal treatises on the Constitution and conflict of laws. He was also a frequent lecturer at the Harvard Law School in its early years. - - Kermit Roosevelt III (contributor of the new 2013 Introduction to the Quid Pro 'Legal Legends' edition of this book) is a professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He clerked for the U.S. Supreme Court and practiced law in Chicago before joining the Penn faculty. He is the author of 'The Myth of Judicial Activism' as well as the novel 'In the Shadow of the Law.'
