  • John Marshall and the Sugar Trust--A Reply to Professor Gillman

    Open AccessWallace Mendelson, Wallace B MendelsonARTICLEPolitical Research Quarterly1996References: 6

    In a revisionist effort Howard Gillman finds that Chief Justice Marshall despite his and the Founders' widely recognized concern for national in terests--was in fact responsible for the Knight states-rights disaster in 1895. In my view nothing Marshall said or did supports the revisionist view- indeed much of what he said and did repudiates it. I suggest that dual federalism, the doctrine on which Knight turns, was a concoction of the plantation …

  • Sex and the Singular Constitution

    Open AccessWallace Mendelson, Wallace B MendelsonARTICLEPS Political Science & Politics1993

    We are not free to vote abortion up or down because Roe v. Wade in 1973 made “freedom of choice” a basic constitutional right. Last June in the Casey case only two members of the Supreme Court upheld Roe unequivocally. Three others sustained it, but only on grounds of precedent. This suggests that, had they been writing on a clean slate, at least one of them might have joined the four dissenters to form a new majority. Even this anemic victory fo…

  • Bootstraps v. Evidence

    Open AccessWallace Mendelson, Wallace B MendelsonARTICLEThe Western Political Quarterly1988

    1 PROFESSOR MELONE insists that those who gave us Article I, Section 10 intended the word contracts to mean only private * contracts. That would be like using the word persons to mean only men or like using the term freedom of speech to mean only freedom of state-approved speech (see Gitlow and Dennis). Surely the burden of proof must fall on those who charge the Founders with using a crucial word in such an unnatural, unprecedented, misleading w…

  • B. F. Wright On the Contract Clause

    Open AccessWallace Mendelson, Wallace B MendelsonARTICLEThe Western Political Quarterly1985

    ENJAMIN WRIGHT has been called our foremost authority on the contract clause. For nearly half a century his book, The Contract Clause of the Constitution (1938), has been cited endlessly as a difinitive work. No doubt in general it reflects a high order of scholarship. The present purpose, however, is to suggest it is flawed particularly in its treatment of the Supreme Court's early contract-clause decisions. The essence of this charge is that Mr…

    Substantive due process is the classic, if temporary, achievement of judicial activism. The Roosevelt Court destroyed it out of respect for the democratic processes. Mr. Justice Black's "incorporation" ploy was calculated to forestall backsliding by equating the Fourteenth Amendment with the Bill of Rights. But the Bill of Rights, after all, is quite old fashioned. It does not cover many matters deemed crucial in our day, e.g., poverty. To fill t…

  • Hugo Black and Judicial Discretion

    Open AccessWallace Mendelson, Wallace B MendelsonARTICLEPolitical Science Quarterly1970

    eration few would deny. That he is a master advocate seems equally clear. Few, perhaps not even Brandeis, can match him in the mounting of an argument. But is he a great judge? Many, of course, insist that he is. This view comes easily, if one is a liberal humanitarian-caring only for the policy outcome of a case (and willing to ignore many of Mr. Justice Black's recent results). Those, however-whether liberal or conservative-who care about metho…
