Conway
ISBN: 9781531670269 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Conway was established in 1732 as Kingston, the principal seat of Kingston Township, but was renamed in honor of local politician Robert Conway, who distinguished himself in war service under the heroic "Swamp Fox," Francis Marion, following the American Revolution. Situated where Kingston Lake joins the Waccamaw River, Conway was originally isolated by wetlands and developed slowly, primarily supported by subsistence farmers in surrounding Horry County. Lacking the tidal rivers of remaining coastal South Carolina, area residents harvested turpentine and timber, improved transportation via...

In late seventeenth-century New England, the eternal battle between God and Satan was brought into the courtroom.

The Free Press Crisis of 1800: Thomas Cooper's Trial for Seditious Libel
ISBN: 9780700617654 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The far-reaching Sedition Act of 1798 was introduced by Federalists to suppress Republican support of French revolutionaries and imposed fines and imprisonment "if any person shall write, print, utter or publish . . . scandalous and malicious writing or writings against the government of the United States." Such a broadly and loosely defined offense challenged the freedom of the American press and gave the government the power to drag offending newspaper editors into court. The trial of Thomas Cooper in particular became an important showcase for debating the dangers and limits of the new...

The Law's Conscience: Equitable Constitutionalism in America
ISBN: 9780807842942 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Law's Conscience is a history of equity in Anglo-American juris-prudence from the inception of the chancellor's court in medieval England to the recent civil rights and affirmative action decisions of the United States Supreme Court. Peter Hoffer argues that equity embodies a way of looking at law, including constitutions, based on ideas of mutual fairness, public trusteeship, and equal protection. His central theme is the tension between the ideal of equity and the actual availability of equitable remedies.
Hoffer examines this tension in the trusteeship constitutionalism... The Law's Conscience is a history of equity in Anglo-American juris-prudence from the inception of the chancellor's court in medieval England t...

Federal Courts: An Essential History
ISBN: 9780199387908 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. There are moments in American history when all eyes are focused on a federal court: when its bench speaks for millions of Americans, and when its decision changes the course of history. More often, the story of the federal judiciary is simply a tale of hard work: of finding order in the chaotic system of state and federal law, local custom, and contentious lawyering. The Federal Courts is a story of all of these courts and the judges and justices who served on them, of the case law they made, and of the acts of Congress and the administrative organs that shaped the courts. But, even more...

For Ourselves and Our Posterity: The Preamble to the Federal Constitution in American History
ISBN: 9780199899531 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In For Ourselves and Our Posterity: The Preamble to the Federal Constitution in American History, author Peter Charles Hoffer offers a sweeping, dramatic narration of a crucial moment in Early American history. Over the course of five days in September 1787, five men serving on an ad hoc "Committee of Style and Arrangement" edited the draft of the federal Constitution at the Constitutional Convention, profoundly recasting the wording of the Preamble. In so doing, the committee changed a federation into a Union and laid out an ambitious program for national governance many years ahead...

Past Imperfect: Facts, Fictions, Fraud American History from Bancroft and Parkman to Ambrose, Bellesiles, Ellis, and Goodwin
ISBN: 9781586484453 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Woodrow Wilson, a practicing academic historian before he took to politics, defined the importance of history: -A nation which does not know what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today.- He, like many men of his generation, wanted to impose a version of America's founding identity: it was a land of the free and a home of the brave. But not the braves. Or the slaves. Or the disenfranchised women. So the history of Wilson's generation omitted a significant proportion of the population in favor of a perspective that was predominantly white, male and Protestant.
That flaw would... Woodrow Wilson, a practicing academic historian before he took to politics, defined the importance of history: -A nation which does not know what it w...

Prelude to Revolution: The Salem Gunpowder Raid of 1775
ISBN: 9781421410050 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Before colonial Americans could declare independence, they had to undergo a change of heart. Beyond a desire to rebel against British mercantile and fiscal policies, they had to believe that they could stand up to the fully armed British soldier. Prelude to Revolution uncovers one story of how the Americans found that confidence. On April 19, 1775, British raids on Lexington Green and Concord Bridge made history, but it was an episode nearly two months earlier in Salem, Massachusetts, that set the stage for the hostilities. Peter Charles Hoffer has discovered records and... Before colonial Americans could declare independence, they had to undergo a change of heart.

Rutgers V. Waddington: Alexander Hamilton, the End of the War for Independence, and the Origins of Judicial Review
ISBN: 9780700622054 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Once the dust of the Revolution settled, the problem of reconciling the erstwhile warring factions arose, and as is often the case in the aftermath of violent revolutions, the matter made its way into the legal arena. Rutgers v. Waddington was such a case. Through this little-known but remarkable dispute over back rent for a burned-down brewery, Peter Charles Hoffer recounts a tale of political and constitutional intrigue involving some of the most important actors in America's transition from a confederation of states under the Articles of Confederation to a national republic under...
