Description
"This book offers the first full biographical account of one of the justices of the original Court, James Iredell of North Carolina. It briefly considers Iredell as a professional - one of the best lawyers of the period in his state - before focusing more extensively on his roles as statesman and jurist. It concludes by considering aspects of the man himself: his family relations, slave ownership, friends, finances, religion, and general humanity." "Justice James Iredell is the life story of show more a consummate Federalist who retained an abiding commitment to the residual sovereignty of the states. The story, as the author notes and the book demonstrates, "is as old as the American republic, but it has pertinency as current as the Clinton impeachment proceedings and the Supreme Court's 1998-99 term.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
