A brief biographical tribute about John Marshall (1755-1835), an American politician, lawyer, Founding Father, and Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Typescript was written by an anonymous author. Much of the tribute praises Marshall's character and briefly describes notable episodes from his life. Marshall had a prolific and multifaceted political career. From 1799-1800, Marshall served as a U.S. Representative from Virginia. From 1800-1801, he also served as the 4th Secretary of State. In 1801, Marshall was confirmed by the U.S. Senate to be the 4th Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, a position which he held until his passing in 1835. To this day, Marshall is the longest-serving Chief Justice and the fourth longest-serving justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Marshall is also noted for having a significant influence on Virginia's ratification of the U.S. Constitution, empowering the federal judicial branch and U.S. Supreme Court, and helping to establish the practice of judicial review. The Marshall Court issued over 1000 decisions, about half of which were written by Marshall.. Manuscript. Book Condition: Very Good.
