Justice Rehnquist, the Supreme Court, and the Bill of Rights

The Bill of Rights and Civil War Amendments created a triangular power struggle among state, nation and individual. Using cases, this book focuses on that struggle and the impacts it had on court decision making throughout Justice Rehnquist’s lengthy term on the Supreme Court, which acted as arbiter among the three claimants to power.

The Bill of Rights and Civil War Amendments created a triangular power struggle among state, nation and individual. Using chronological court cases, this book examines how the Supreme Court became arbiter among the three claimants to power, sometimes backtracking and sometimes taking a bold leap forward. Focusing on Justice Rehnquist’s lengthy term on the Supreme Court, Steven T. Seitz examines the growth and emphasis of individual sovereignty throughout the twentieth century. Highlighting some of the dispositional problems with Rehnquist decisions, the book uses the sustainable case law standard instead of applauding either conservative or liberal point of view which provides new vantage points on topics like equal protection of women, due process in several arenas, contracts, free speech, sex, and guns.
