Taney, one of the most important chief justices in U.S. history. A careful analysis of landmark decisions such as \u003ci\u003eDred Scott v. Sandford\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCharles River Bridge v. Warren Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePrigg v. Pennsylvania\u003c\/i\u003e shows how the court interpreted issues of commerce, contracts, slavery, and separation of powers, and how, despite its perception as being pro-states rights, it actually expanded federal judicial power. \n\nProfiles of the 20 justices who served on the Taney Court place a special emphasis on those who made the most significant impact, including Taney, Joseph Story, Benjamin Curtis, and John A. Campbell.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54250595058008,"sku":"9781576073681","price":73.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/taney-court","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
