Features: This book is organized chronologically. In addition to chapters on the Supreme Court under different Chief Justices, there are chapters on four landmark cases—these cases highlight how the Supreme Court operates and also emphasize the impact of major decisions on the entire nation and the Court itself. I hope this book's readers are not limited to experts in this field. The author has tried to write in a non-technical style so that the book will not intimidate general readers, as works by law professors often do. As the saying goes, war is so important an issue that it cannot be left to the masses. The work of the Supreme Court is equally important in our country and should not be confined to legal professionals and law professors. The historical role of the Supreme Court is particularly so. Without understanding the role the Supreme Court has played in history, it is difficult to fully grasp the history of the United States. In many cases, the Supreme Court's decisions have become a crucial part of the nation's development history.
