Irreconcilable Founders: Spencer Roane, John Marshall, And The Nature Of Americas Constitutional Republic,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Virginians dominate the early history of the United States, with Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Patrick Henry, George Mason, George Wythe, and John Marshall figuring prominently in that narrative. Fellow Virginian Spencer Roane (17621822), an influential jurist and political thinker, was in many ways their equal. Roane is nonetheless mostly absent in accounts of early America. The lack of interest in Roane is remarkable since he was the philosophical leader of the Jeffersonians, architect of states rights doctrine, a legislator, essayist, and, for twentyseven years, justice of the Virginia Supreme Court. He was the soninlaw of Henry, a confidant of Jefferson, founder of the influential Richmond Enquirer, and head of the Richmond Junto.Roanes opinions established judicial review of legislative acts ten years before Supreme Court Chief Justice Marshall did the same in Marbury v. Madison. Roane also brought down Virginias statesponsored church. His descent into historical twilight is even more curious given his fierce criticismboth from the bench and in the Richmond Enquirerof Marshalls nationalistic decisions. Indeed, the debate between these two judges is perhaps the most comprehensive discussion of federalism outside of the arguments that raged over the ratification of the United States Constitution.In Irreconcilable Founders, David Johnson uses Roanes longlasting conflict with Marshall as ballast for the firstever biography of this highly influential but largely forgotten justice and political theorist. Because Roanes legal opinions gave way to those of Marshall, historians have tended to either dismiss him or cast him as little more than an annoying gadfly. Equally to blame for his obscurity is the comparative inaccessibility of Roanes life: no single archive houses his papers, no scholars have systematically reviewed his legal opinions, and no one has methodically examined his essays. Bringing these and other disparate sources together for the first time, Johnson precisely limns Roanes career, personality, and philosophy. He also synthesizes the judges wideranging jurisprudence and analyzes his predictions about the dangers of unchecked federal power and an activist Supreme Court. Although contemporary jurists and politicians disregarded Roanes opinions, many in todays political and legal arenas are unknowingly echoing his views with increasing frequency, making this reappraisal of his life and reassessment of his opinions timely and relevant.
