The Anti-Rent Era in New York Law and Politics, 1839-1865
International audience
The Anti-Rent Era in New York Law and Politics, 1839-1865
A compelling blend of legal and political history, this book chronicles the largest tenant rebellion in U.S. history. From its beginning in the rural villages of eastern New York in 1839 until its collapse in 1865, the Anti-Rent movement impelled the state's governors, legislators, judges, and journalists, as well as delegates to New York's bellwether constitutional convention of 1846, to wrestle with two difficult problems of social policy.

The Promise of Power
The Knight Sugar Decision of 1895 and The Modernization of American Corporation Law, 1869–1903
No conviction has been more a part of the standard interpretation of American history in the twentieth century than the belief that the U.S. Supreme Court, in a series of late-nineteenth-century decisions bearing on government-business relations, reflected the conservative reaction that seemed to mark the depression of the 1890s. But Professor McCurdy demonstrates that in its 1895 decision in the case of United States v. E. C. Knight Company , wh…
American Law and the Marketing Structure of the Large Corporation, 1875–1890
This paper employs the techniques of legal history to explore the relationship between the rise of big business and the size of the American market. It emphasizes law as a determinant of market size, and it analyzes judicial construction of the Constitution's commerce clause over time to delineate the role of integrated corporations in generating legal change. Specifically, the paper suggests that if the American market is defined as a free-trade…
Legal Institutions, Constitutional Theory, and the Tragedy of Reconstruction
Stephen J. Field and Public Land Law Development in California, 1850-1866
The landmarks of California resource law were laid down within the turbulent context of “the stampede of 1849 and subsequent years.” From all over the world men came to seek fortune in that “glorious country,” fully expecting government “to use its resources positively to enlarge their opportunities.” But federal policy was in a state of flux when gold was discovered on the public domain. Before 1846 mineral lands had been reserved from sale or p…
