Note 38 — Chapter IV · MARSHALL’S CONSTITUTIONAL OPINIONS

As to this general subject see “Origin and Scope of the American Doctrine of Constitutional Law,” 7 Harvard Law Review, 129. Compare the remark of Lord John Russell: “Every political constitution, in which different bodies share the supreme power, is only enabled to exist by the forbearance of those among whom this power is distributed.” I quote this from the motto of Woodrow Wilson’s fifth chapter in his Congressional Government.
