Also covers powers of the Federal Govt. (Cohens vs. Virginia & McCulloch vs. Maryland), the commerce clause (Gibbons vs. Ogden), legality of slavery and land titles based on conquest of Indians, the transference of common law to America, and strict interpretation of Constitution in Burr treason trial. 6p., 14f., 3b. |
